In Delhi, authorities have installed cameras to monitor fuel dispensing at certain stations, while other outlets were found supplying fuel without the required PUC certificate.
In Delhi, the petroleum authorities have begun installing surveillance cameras at selected fuel stations to monitor dispensing practices. The cameras are intended to ensure that fuel is sold in compliance with safety and quality regulations.
However, investigations revealed that at other stations fuel was being supplied without the mandatory Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate. The PUC certificate, issued by the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization, confirms that fuel meets the required quality standards.
The absence of a PUC indicates potential non‑compliance with regulatory norms and raises concerns about fuel quality and safety. The authorities have launched an inquiry to identify the stations involved and to enforce the necessary regulatory measures.
The ongoing probe underscores the government's focus on tightening oversight of the fuel supply chain and protecting consumers from sub‑standard fuel.
