With people continuing to venture outside in cars and on two-wheelers, the government may restrict supply of petrol and diesel to common man. While this is being done in cities like Pune and Nagpur, sources said it will be extended to other parts of the state too if people don't stay indoors.

Only essential services providers will get regular supply of fuel, Home Minister Anil Deshmukh s'aid on Tuesday. "Citizens are expected not to step out of the house. In this case, why does one need fuel? We have not curbed supply or distribution. But, fuel is provided to only those who fall under the essential service category," Deshmukh told mid-day. He earlier spoke on similar lines to a regional news channel.
