Andhra Pradesh Petrol Bunk Dealers Association has called for 24-hour bandh from August 30 midnight in protest against the collection of VAT on petrol and diesel by the Andhra Pradesh Government.

Speaking to media persons in Guntur on Wednesday, Association leaders demanded that the State Government reduce the VAT on petrol and diesel in the State. They said due to higher rates, several vehicles owners are purchasing petrol and diesel from neighboring State which consequently affected their sales. (INN)
