Dear PM, Mr.Modi, May I request you to reconsider your decision on the proposed 24-hour shutdown of fuel stations on Sundays especially in the states that are industrially developed, tourism oriented and having high tech hospitals that take care of the medical facilities beyond the respective state barrier.

Conservation of the oil by 'total shutdown of the fuel stations" is not a pragmatic solution. Please note that Ambulance, Fire

service, rescue operations on the highway & Industrial accidents and many other emergency services such as police, paramilitary,

and defense services solely depend on the road transportation.

Instead of total shut down on Sundays, it is suggested to open fifty percent of the fuel stations for 24hrs on Saturdays and the remaining fifty percent on Sundays. This arrangement will ensure your intended conservation, one day weekly off to the employees at fuel stations across the country and there will be no room for an emergency service to cut a sorry figure for the failure of timely response to the rescue operation on the shortage of fuel to mobilize the adequate number of the rescue personnel.Conservation of oil by practice and promoting team -travel and not by a total shutdown of the fuel stations. In the history of industrial accidents, most of them occurred at weekend or on holidays. For your review.Thanks.
