Three service stations of Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) and a Hindustan Petroleum pump, located near Tihar Jail, have suffered losses to the tune of Rs 50 lakh, due to the movement. The attendants and officials, however, did not mind as it was for a just cause.

Delhi Police blocked the roads heading towards Tihar Jail after Anna supporters started assembling there since Tuesday evening. By Wednesday morning, around 7,000 people had gathered around the jail. Delhi Police then stopped all vehicles to pass through. As a result, the three IGL service stations-Janakpuri D Block, Hari Nagar and Jail Road-did not entertain a single customer.u00a0u00a0
