Petrol ‘langar’ leaves Chandigarh disappointed
A proposed petrol langar, a unique twist on the traditional free food distribution, has drawn attention on social media in Chandigarh. Videos show devotees receiving fuel coupons while chanting "Jai Mata Di" at petrol pumps. However, the event has been postponed due to heavy rain and the petrol pumps involved have distanced themselves from the arrangement.
The man behind the unusual event, identified as Raja, claims to be a devotee from Amritsar who has been living in Chandigarh for seven to eight months. He has reportedly organized other unique forms of langar in the past, including cash and gold-coin langars. Despite the interest generated by the social media videos, the petrol pumps have denied any involvement in the proposed fuel distribution.
It remains unclear whether the event will take place on Friday at a petrol station in Sector 10 as initially claimed, as the petrol pumps have not confirmed the details.
