According to reports, rumours of fuel shortage surfaced during the weekend which soon led to long queues at fuel outlets, forcing many dealers to even close them due to the crowds getting out of control.
The situation went out of hand in Rajasthan and Uttarakhand where in capital cities of Jaipur and Dehradun respectively, the local petrol pump associations had to issue a clarification that there was no shortage of petrol and diesel.
Dehradun administration even initiated a probe in the matter and has warned of strict action against rumour mongers.
