AGARTALA, July 6 (TIWN): Even after rationing the supply of petrol in the state, it has become troublesome to meet the rising demand of petrol in the state as supply of petrol in the state is low.

 It is seen that every day the crisis is worsening due to the limited supply of petrol in the state as NH has taken a dilapidated shape and hundreds of petrol tankers are yet stranded at National highway.

It is to be mentioned here that with the ongoing crisis of petrol in the state the authority has imposed the rationing system in distribution of petrol in the state. Rationing system imposed over the distribution of the petrol in the state from last Sunday.

Rationing is imposed for controlled distribution due to scarce resources, goods, or services, or an artificial restriction of demand. Rationing controls the size of the ration, which is one's allowed portion of the resources being distributed on a particular day or at a particular time.

Rationing is often done to keep price below the equilibrium (market-clearing) price determined by the process of supply and demand in an unfettered market. Thus, rationing can be complementary to price controls.

The petrol pump owners have imposed fuel rationing after its storage started dwindling along with the disruption in supply over past 15 days due to the dilapidated condition of NH which has obstructed the movement of the traffic on the road.

It is to be mentioned here that according to the rationing policy two wheelers will be given petrol for only 200rs and the four wheelers will given petrol for Rs500 so that a balance can be maintained b ut even after rationing the supply the demand is yet to meet an end.
