Highlights 1 54,000 petrol dealers threaten to go on strike next week over long-pending demands. 'We want GST,' petroleum dealers figuratively said today as they announced a nationwide strike on October 13. Around 54,000 petrol pumps will likely be shut that day, a Friday, as fuel dealers press for long-standing demands. The announcement of the strike was made by the United Petroleum Front, which represents over 54,000 dealers from the Federation of All-India Petroleum Traders, the All-India Petroleum Dealers Association and the Consortium of Indian Petroleum Dealers. Among the issues that have upset petroleum dealers is the announcement of marketing discipline guidelines announced by oil marketing companies.
