The Palnadu district administration banned loose sale of petrol and diesel, in plastic or other types of bottles or cans of any size in the district.
Palnadu district Joint Collector A. Shyam Prasad issued the orders in view of the violence witnessed on the polling day and the immediately following days in Macherla, Gurazala, Narasaraopet and other Assembly constituencies.
Violation of the orders would lead to cancellation of the licences of fuel outlets and further serious action against the owners of the outlets, Mr. Shyam Prasad said in a statement on Saturday (May 18).
