    CHENNAI:
    As per official confirmation IndianOil Petrol pumps would accept Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes upto 14th November 2016
    In order to aid stranded (many North Bound) truck drivers to tide over currency crunch an altruistic ioc-colourIndianOil Petrol Pump Dealer near Cholavaram Chennai has been spontaneously offering the stranded drivers with free breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, tea, water snacks etc from the 9th of this month.
    PadamChand Jain, of Kalpataru Filling Station, an IndianOil petrol pump on NH 5, 25kms from Chennai says “I have a huge free truck parking area, next to my two acre outlet. I have truck drivers who visit this place and park their vehicles before proceeding on their journey. I found that many of them didn’t frequent the mechanic area, or tea stalls on 9th. On enquiring they said they didn’t have the required change to buy food too. Hence my son Gajendra Jain and I joined together and arranged for food for the parked drivers. We have been providing them with whatever we can for all drivers here including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks water etc.” “During Chennai rains too we have fed more than 3000 drivers per day. Many from the outlet too
    joined our kitchen to prepare food for the helpless drivers. During summer time distribution of Buttermilk is a regular activity in our outlet. As human beings we need to rise to exigencies to help each other.
    Kalpataru Filling station has a sale of 1400 KL of Diesel and 100 KL of Petrol per month
