India: Fuel stations to close for strike across Rajasthan State May 31

Event

The Rajasthan Petroleum Dealers Association is holding a statewide strike, 20:00-23:00 May 31. Organizers are demanding revision of dealer commissions by oil companies. Limited ground transport disruptions due to fuel shortages are possible.

Strike participants may stage protests at public squares, fuel depots, fuel stations, major intersections, as well as outside government offices. Dozens of people may join rallies in urban centers like Jaipur. Localized transport disruptions are possible near demonstration venues if protesters march on or block roadways. Fuel shortages may affect business operations, public and private transport services, and ground shipping for the duration of the strike. Significant disruptions are unlikely.

Advice

Confirm all transport reservations in Rajasthan State throughout the action. Arrange alternative fuel supplies and transport if necessary. Ensure vehicles are refueled prior to the strike, especially if on long trips. Monitor local media for updates on protest sites as organizers may not announce details in advance. Heed all security and traffic advisories.
