State Bharatiya Kisan Sangh president Kamal Singh Anjana said, “Petrol pump owners have fixed a limit for distributing diesel in Indore, Ujjain, Ratlam, Dewas, Sehore and Ashta. Diesel is being supplied in a capped manner of 50 to 100 litres. This has perplexed farmers.”
A farmer from Badi in Raisen district said there was no diesel available in Badi and Bareli. As a result, there are long queues of vehicles waiting to get fuel. When contacted, Ajay Singh, president of the Petrol Pump Dealers Association, said, “Petrol pump owners are not getting supplies according to their demand.
