Imphal, April 30 2015 :
The All Manipur Students' Union (AMSU) on Thursday urged the Government to reopen all the oil pumps from Friday onwards.
A press release issued by AMSU, Secretary General Manjit Sarangthem, said that the oil pumps have been closed before the 48 hour economic blockade imposed by the United Naga Council.
The press release further said that when the AMSU volunteers visited and checked the oil depots located at Sangakpham the volunteers seized large quantities of oils stocked secretly in the oil depots.
He alleged that even though most oil pumps are closed petrol was freely sold on the black market under the nose of the authority.
Manjit warned that if the authority concerned failed to reopen their oil pumps within the given deadline the union will take action against these oil depots and it will be the sole responsibility of the government for any untoward incidents occurred during their agitations.
