Chandigarh: The Punjab government on Thursday introduced Petro card/Fleet card facility for the vehicles allotted to the Cabinet ministers of the state. Drivers of the vehicles alloted to the ministers have been instructed to refuel the vehicles only at those petrol pumps where Petro card facility would be available. It has been made mandatory to put the vehicle number on the computerised slip received from the pump and submit the duly filled logbook along with both the receipts - computerised and manual.
They would be required to verify the bills by the 5th of every month and mention accurate amount on the summary sheet failing which, the Petro card will be blocked. In case of loss of the Petro card, the driver would be charged.
Drivers have been directed to abide by the fuel limit as they would be responsible for violating the prescribed limit.
They have been asked to fill in the details on the duly signed summary sheet such as their name, mobile number, vehicle number and the name of the minister to whom the vehicle has been alloted and mention the open/closing meter reading accurately. Meanwhile, Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar has urged all the Cabinet ministers to ensure strict adherence to the instructions by the concerned drivers so that the facility of Petro cards could be run smoothly.
