Petrol pumps in many parts of the country went dry and more are expected to run out of stock by
Friday as the indefinite strike by oil PSU officers entered the second day today. This provoked the government to ask company managements to sack close to 70 executives leading the stir. There are 32,000 fuel pumps in India out of which about 50% are out of stock.
In Delhi, half the pumps have run out of fuel.
