Inadequate fuel supply leaves LPG auto drivers in Kozhikode a worried lot
The Hindu
Only five stations in district to cater to over 1,500 vehicles
Leaders of a district-level committee of LPG autorickshaw drivers have accused LPG filling station managements in Kozhikode of negligence, as they have failed to ensure essential stock.
Though there are over 1,500 LPG-powered autorickshaws, there are only five fuel stations in the district, and many go dry during peak hours of service, they add.
“It takes several days or weeks to recharge a dried-up station, as nobody is interested in catering for LPG-powered vehicles in time. Placing purchase orders in advance is not done by fuel station managements,” says A.K. Sajeevkumar, president, LPG autorickshaw drivers’ committee.
