People hurried to fill their vehicle tanks at petrol pumps in Mumbai and Nagpur, fearing fuel shortages caused by truckers' protests over a new law rule on hit-and-run accidents. The protest, which was sparked by drivers' concerns about the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, delayed fuel supplies to Mumbai's petrol pumps, with approximately 200 pumps on the verge of running out of fuel, stated a report in PTI. 

Mumbai Petrol Dealers Association president Chetan Modi highlighted the impact on supply, stating that tankers were halted at depots despite police security. Nearly 180 tankers refuel daily at these depots.
