Kochi: Petrol pumps across Kerala will remain closed on Monday from 6 am to 12 pm, as announced by the petroleum dealers' association.

The shutdown is in protest against the alleged assault on association leaders by tanker lorry drivers' union members during a discussion at the HPCL office in Kozhikode. Additionally, fuel stations in Kozhikode will observe a closure today from 4 pm to 6 pm.
