Monday, 20 September 2010
LUDHIANA: Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal National Joint Secretary, Federation of All India Petroleum Traders told that the Petroleum Minister Murli Deovra call a meeting 0n 13 September at 3.30 pm at New Delhi with FAIPT National President Ashok Badhwar, managing committee and Oil Companies to solve the issues of Petrol Pumps and 38,700 Petroleum Traders across India.
He also clear that if MOP not fulfil their demands in this meeting our future course of action INDEFINITE ALL INDIA STRIKE from 20th September, 2010 under the Presidentship of Sh. Ashok Badhwar National President, FAIPT will be sure. There is No Change in our Federation Programme.
Grewal stated that Dealers have been forced for take this extreme step as Union Government is not paying any heed to their genuine demands for a long time. Grewal said Dealers and Traders have been bleeding profusely due to inadequate margins and rise in operational expenditure. Evaporation or Leakage of fuel oil takes away 1% of the 2% margin being provided by the Oil Companies on the Sales of Fuel Oil. Rest of the margins are now been taken away with the rise in Wages or Salaries; hike in Electricity, Water & Sewage Charges; increase in Expenditure towards Interest which may be attributed due to rise in Capital requirement due to rise in Fuel Prices.
Grewal aggrieved that commissioning of New Retail Outlets (NROs) by the competing PSU Oil companies around existing Retail Outlets against the orders of Ministry of Petroleum and Honourable High Courts is another rationale for the above call for Nationwide Strike. Grewal added that commissioning of such NROs not only burdens PSU Oil companies as the site is generally leased and cost of construction, dispensing machines and underground tanks etc are borne by the company but also doesn’t serves any Public Utility as another Retail Outlet is serving people in that area. It only deprives the Dealers or Traders off 2 square meals, they were managing somehow.
Grewal added that the oil companies shall follow reciprocal system of quality checks as while delivering the products they only mention density of the product being delivered on the Invoice whereas they conduct innumerable tests on the samples they collect from the Retail Outlets/Petrol Pumps which is discriminatory and illogical. There should be a common and a reciprocal system to establish quality of the product being delivered to the Retail Outlet.
Grewal stated that Federation expects a fair solution from the Petroleum Ministry as Dealers/Traders across the country are serving Nation selflessly and added that we understand the fact that agitation is not the solution but out of compulsion, we have been forced to take such a step.
