The video report has been published by Mathrubhumi News on their YouTube channel. Indian Hockey team showcased a great performance at the recent Tokyo Olympics and secured Bronze medal for India. The team defeated Germans to secure the spot. PR Sreejesh who is also the goalkeeper had also performed very well. What made this medal even more special is that the Indian hockey team was getting a medal at the Olympics after 41 years. The petrol pump owner in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram wanted to share this happiness with others and as a result he came up with a plan to distribute petrol or diesel worth Rs 101 to anyone who is name Sreejesh.

The owner of pump has printed a pamphlet to let the people know about this limited period offer. The owner mentions that the offer is valid till 31st August 2021.

Another condition of this particular scheme is that the person can do it once in a week. Considering the rising fuel prices across the country, people have been getting in touch with the fuel station to know more about the scheme. The owner mentions that this scheme was actually suggested by his children and they were an integral part of this planning.
