Operations of more than 120 fuel pump stations across Tamil Nadu have been suspended and penal action is being initiated against them for "short delivery" of petrol and diesel detected during a recent state-wide intensive raids by the Labour department.
The officials of the department conducted inspections in 818 fuel outlets across the state between October 10 and 12 and found short delivery by 127 of them, a government release said.
Of them, 34 outlets were in Chennai, 24 in Coimbatore, 30 in Tiruchirapalli, 39 in Madurai.
Appealing to consumers to ensure '0' in meter pump before filling petrol or diesel, the release said they can use the five litre stamped check measure kept in the outlets to verify the quantity of the fuel delivered.
It also said they can use the existing mobile application TN-LMCTS (Tamil Nadu Legal Metrology Complaint Tracking System) to lodge complaints about short delivery of fuel.
It can also be used for filing complaints about short delivery of commodities at fair price shops and against shop keepers who charge above the maximum retail price (MRP) mentioned on packaged commodities, the release added.
