After the first gas line, now the people of Lucknow had to stand in line for petrol. Police were called due to huge crowd at the petrol pump. Bharat Petroleum says that there is no shortage of petrol. Don’t pay attention to rumours. But in ground reality the condition of the people is bad. People have to wait for hours in petrol lines. Even after this petrol is not available. Many petrol pumps stopped providing oil. Police and PAC personnel were deployed at many places.

At the same time, the UP government took cognizance of the rumors in Lucknow. The government said that there is no shortage of petrol and diesel and the stock is sufficient.
