Mysuru: The petrol bunk owners are facing the heat of Model Code of Conduct in force. Every day, the cash they carry home or to deposit in the banks are being checked by the election officials and this has resulted in a great deal of inconvenience both to the owners and the employees, said the owners of the Petrol Bunks, addressing a press conference at Pathrakarthara Bhavan here yesterday.
The election officials are asking documents for the cash we have collected. They confiscate the money and question us for hours. As a result, the owners’ and the employees’ time are being wasted. Along with this, it is becoming difficult to carry out transactions in the bunk due to shortage of cash, said Federation of Petroleum Traders State President Basavegowda, expressing his displeasure.
