Andhra Pradesh Petroleum Traders Seek Security at Fuel Stations

Petroleum station owners in Andhra Pradesh say their workers need better protection.

They told the state police chief about attacks and threats at fuel stations.

One worker named Arif died after an alleged attack in Paritala.

Another worker, Ashok, was reportedly assaulted by five people in Ajit Singh Nagar.

The traders want police to visit fuel stations more often.

They also want an emergency phone contact for workers.

Warning boards could explain the penalties for violence or property damage.

The police chief said he would consider these safety ideas.
