Kerala

Next issue

Petroleum dealers in Kerala have just withdrawn, in the context of a writ petition that came up in the High Court, a threat they had held out to restrict their hours and days of business in the face of what were presented as safety and security issues at the outlet level. How do vehicle users and the public in general view such a move to restrict the availability of fuel by dealers, and how do individual outlet operators themselves see the question?
