This limit is applicable at all petrol stations operated by Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL).
Government vehicles and essential services, such as health and defense, are exempt from these restrictions, and retailers are prohibited from selling petrol in containers. Local officials may ease restrictions in specific areas if fuel supplies normalize, subject to approval from higher authorities, a government notification issued today said.
The NFR has announced the cancellation of the following trains to allow uninterrupted restoration work from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on November 10, 2024, at the derailment site between Daotuhaja (DKE) and Mupa (MPP) stations:
