It has been reported that Essar Oil Company did not take approval from NHAI for putting up this petrol pump. The aforesaid petrol pump was bought by Rajesh Chouhan in 2007. The company officers did not inform about legal issues regarding the petrol pump and took 3 lakh rupees as lease amount from him in the name of Essar Oil Company. NHAI declared this petrol pump as illegal and issued orders for closing down the petrol pump in December 2015.
