The Pune district administration observed that despite the complete lockdown in the city in an effort to contain the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), there has been continued movement of vehicles!
Hence, the Pune district administration has been constrained to order a ban on the sale of petrol and diesel to private vehicles. Fuel will still be sold to vehicles on emergency duty.
The Pune District Collector Naval Kishore Ram on Tuesday announced that he has barred petrol pumps across the district from selling fuel to private vehicles. Private vehicles of staff involved in emergency services to fight COVID-19, employees of private organizations involved in tackling the spread of the disease, those involved in providing essential commodities and those commuting for medical assistance would be exempted from the order.
A directive by the district collector stated all those who have been exempted from the ban will have to fill their fuel tanks to full capacity.
