Fuel For Free: Chandigarhs 'Petrol Langar' Turns Chaotic, Leaves People Fuming

A petrol langar offering free fuel coupons in Chandigarh was postponed after heavy rains disrupted the planned event, but the earlier announcement still drew a large crowd. Amritsar-based social worker Rakesh Trehan, also known as Raja D King, had planned to distribute 500 fuel coupons to two- and three-wheeler owners and 1,000 coupons to four-wheeler owners. The event was rescheduled for Friday and is expected to continue for three days until Sunday.
