A petrol pump operator, Rakesh Bhandari, while talking to ANI, said the strike is being held to appeal to the CM of the state to reduce diesel prices as they are higher compared to other states. "There is a two-day strike from 10:00 to 18:00 and we are appealing to the CM to reduce the price of diesel as the VAT in other states is less and the price of diesel over here is higher so the price should be reduced to ensure uniformity in the sale," he said.
