The petrol bunk owners in Vizag city that they will shut down the fuel pumps form October 12 midnight to October 13 midnight to press for various demands including better margins and inclusion of petroleum products in the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, president of Vizag Petrol Dealers Association, M Narayana Reddy said that some sales officers of the oil companies have threatened the dealers in the city not to take part in the nationwide strike.
However, they had decided to observe one-day bandh on October 13.
