Indore, Apr 10 (UNI) Petrol pumps across Madhya Pradesh will remain closed on April 13 in response to a nation-wide agitation call given by the Federation of All India Petroleum Traders and the MP Federation of Petroleum Traders over uniform petrol and diesel prices across the country besides other demands.

Indore Petroleum Dealers Association secretary Paras Jain told newspersons here that the demands included increase in commission to five per cent and appointing of an appellate authority.

Mr Jain said petroleum and diesel prices had been constantly rising. The Centre had been assuring a hike in the dealer's commission but no step had been taken so far.
