Assistant Director FCS&CA, Arief Lone and Assistant Commissioner Legal Metrology inspected the petrol pumps on National Highway in the vicinity of Rajouri.
The inspection was carried out on the directions of the Deputy Commissioner Rajouri, Vikas Kundal to check provision of functional toilet and drinking facilities as per the government guidelines under Swachh Bharat Mission.
During the inspection, it was found that all the petrol pumps have these facilities but proper signages were missing. The inspection team asked the owners to install the signages for the convenience of the customers.
It is pertinent to mention that the Govt has issued guidelines to ensure that the fuel pumps adhere to the norms under Swachh Bharat Mission and measures are taken up to ensure availability of basic amenities like clean drinking water and proper toilets at the pumps.
The concerned officers also warned the petrol pump owners of legal action if they are found violating the Govt norms in this regard.
