New Delhi, Apr 17: Petrol pump owners have threatened to go on one day strike demanding a hike in commission they get on fuels. [UPDATE: Diesel, kerosene, LPG prices likely to be hiked]

"It has been decided that all petrol pumps of public sector oil marketing companies in the country shall observe one day protest closure in the first instance from midnight of Apr 22-23 till midnight of Apr 23-24," said Ajay Bansal, Federation of All India Petroleum Traders (FAIPT) General Secretary.
