MUMBAI: All petrol, diesel and CNG pumps in Mumbai metropolitan region have extended support to the January 4 strike call by private CNG pump owners to protest against Mahanagar Gas Limited ‘forcing’ them to sign 15-year lease agreements.
Said M Venkatrao of Petrol Dealers’ Association (PDA), “We had an urgent meeting of all pump owners on Tuesday and have given 100% support to the strike call. The MGL cannot arm twist these private CNG pump owners and take their land on lease.” The unconditional support by PDA indicates that over 200 pumps will support the call.
