LOOOOOOONNGG Queues for petrol

The looooonngg queues for petrol are getting longer day after day. Petro land diesel is available only at HPCL petrol pumps which are very few in Belgaum. One is on Khanapur Road, one next to Sanman and one next to IDBI bank on college road.
One petrol pump on Fort road its BP, but still it had fuel in it. The queue at Sanman, the last person I saw was at the gate of Lingraj College and it’s not a single line but multiple lines. It utter chaos. Police have been called in for traffic arrangements.
