New Delhi: From filling the previous tank before to refuel only for urgent needs, people have a way to overcome the increase in gasoline prices, which violated the RS-100 sign on Wednesday.
While some commuters say they are now thinking twice before removing their cars, others now carefully consider the distance they need to travel and the amount they need to spend fuel.
“The government needs to think of ordinary people, many of which have lost their jobs during locking,” Vicky said, who bought a liter of gasoline for his will because he was unable to lose his job recently.
Toi visited six gas stations in the center, Lutyens’ and South Delhi to understand how ordinary people were in a price that had never happened before.
In Delhi Gate, Afzal Ansari came to refuel worth Rs 500 and said, “I have two cars but have to sell one because it is no longer affordable to run both.
The price of fuel that continues to increase does not give us the pleasure of having two vehicles at home.
After a month I took out a car today because we couldn’t drive as much as we did.
“Ansari has a business in a cloth and find it difficult to carry his merchandise on Metro Delhi and feel the need for cars while traveling.
Sarvesh Pandey Drive Lecturer to the gas station only when the car shows the fuel falls to the reserve level.
“We took class online, right, but we also had to report to work as part of the 50% staff allowed to work physically from the institution,” Pandey said.
Chartered Accountant Mohit, 26, also fills the tank only when needed.
In CP, he said, “Lost is the days when someone can fill the tank with full.
Now we wonder, is it affordable to do this?” Jatin’s sales executives were also worried about spending RS 200 on gasoline every day.
“Do we get food or not secondary, but first of all we have to set aside money for fuel,” Jatin said.
Not only commuters and ordinary people who face the burden of price increases.
Ironically, even gasoline pump employees were hit hard by the increase in gasoline costs.
“We have a strange time and sometimes work in the morning, sometimes late at night, so public transportation doesn’t work for us.
This means, every day we now have to save Rs 100 for fuel,” said Sunil Yadav, a person workers at the gas station.
