Several petrol pumps in parts of Telangana, including Hyderabad, shut their operations yesterday due to alarmingly low stocks amid panic buying in the last two days. Long queues of vehicles were witnessed at several petrol pumps in Madhya Pradesh as well. A similar situation was witnessed in parts of Assam as the public rushed to refuel their vehicles. In Jorhat, the petrol pump owners said that they have adequate supplies. However, several petrol pumps in Hyderabad have put up “no stock” boards due to the non-arrival of refuel tankers on time.
