Fraud at Petrol pumps in Telangana and Hyderabad: In many areas of Telangana, complaints of rigging with customers at petrol pumps are increasing. Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana, is also not untouched by this problem. Recently, a video has surfaced from an Bharat Petroleum pump in the city of Telangana. It is seen in the video that the petrol pump has been accused of giving small amounts of fuel by customers. In such a situation, when the customers questioned, the attendant of the petrol pump did not give any clear answer.
Many times a case of rigging has come in the meter
However, this is not the first case of rigging in the meter of petrol pump in Telangana. Many times petrol pumps are rigged in meters and less fuel is given or sometimes customers are sold up to adulterated petrol. Customers do not even know and they are cheated. In some cases, attendants deliberately fill petrol at slow, due to which the meter runs quickly and customers do not get full fuel.
Several complaints to officials, no action is taken
Consumer organizations say that such complaints have been coming even before, but the officials are lax in the action. Appeal has been made to customers to be cautious while getting fuel and if there is any disturbance, then file a complaint immediately. Along with this, the administration should also check the petrol pumps regularly and take strict action if found guilty.
Such incidents not only cause financial loss to customers, but can also cause damage to the vehicles. The government and citizens will have to take steps to stop such rigging together.
