Chandigarh's 'Petrol Langar' Postponed Due to Rain, Rescheduled for August 21
A planned 'petrol langar' in Chandigarh, organized by Rakesh Trehan, aimed to distribute free fuel coupons worth Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 at selected petrol pumps on August 18. However, heavy rain led to postponement, leaving many attendees disappointed after no fuel was given. Trehan apologized and rescheduled the event for August 21, promising coupon distribution and continuation over three days. The initiative follows Trehan's previous unconventional charity drives combining food and cash distributions.
