Coimbatore: The District Petroleum Dealers Association has announced their participation for the Janta curfew, on March 22 between 7 AM to 9 PM.
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and as a precautionary measure, the PM had called for a Janta Curfew on March 22 from 7 AM to 9PM. In an effort to do their part to combat the virus, the District Petroleum Dealers Association have decided to close down petrol bunks, on March 22. Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum petrol stations, will take part in this shut down.
"Additionally, emergency services like ambulances would need fuel. Hence petrol bunks, with minimum workforce, would be functional for emergency services", noted a press release from the association.
"As requested by the PM, around 5 PM, the workers at the petrol stations would stand out and clap for five minutes in honour of the doctors, nurses and other health sector workers, who have been working tirelessly during the Coronavirus crisis", the release added.
