Karnataka Government Mandates Digital Display of Ethanol Blending Percentages at Petrol Pumps

The Karnataka government has announced a new initiative to mandate the <b>digital display</b> of ethanol blending percentages at all petrol pumps across the state. This decision follows reports alleging that fuel stations are mixing ethanol beyond the prescribed limits. Minister Rizwan Arshad stated that the government plans to inform the central authorities regarding these concerns. Additionally, the state intends to display safety protocols digitally and develop an <b>online portal</b> for citizens to register complaints. If the central government does not provide clarity, the state will conduct independent laboratory tests on fuel samples and make the findings public to ensure transparency for consumers.
