Queues at petrol pumps

The panic buying of fuel continues, leading to extensive queues at petrol pumps in Hyderabad.

Consequently, many had to cancel their plans. Meanwhile, a Zomato delivery agent decided to navigate Hyderabad on horseback.

Despite the announcement of the cancellation of the strike by transporters, queues persist today.

Yesterday, representatives of the All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC) met Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla, who assured them that provisions under the new law have not been notified yet. He also assured them that the ministry will have a discussion with AIMTC before implementing it.
