Fuel shortage hits #Noida, #Ghaziabad as refineries upgrade

NOIDA/GHAZIABAD: A fuel crisis has crippled petrol pumps across Noida and Ghaziabad because of irregular supplies from Mathura and Panipat, where two major refineries have been affected due to technical upgrades and maintenance work.

Pump owners of all three major oil companies, Indian Oil, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum, said supply has been inconsistent over the past week and many petrol pumps have had to turn away commuters.
