Imphal, June 09 2012:
With allegation of mixed fuel (petrol and diesel) dispensing to VIP vehicles, the government fuel outlet at 1st MR has become a cause of embarrassment for the state government.
Taking serious note of the matter, Minister M Okendro has also instructed the IOC officials for necessary investigation.
A VIP vehicle which came for refilling was alleged supplied petrol mixed with diesel today.
According to reports received, a team led by ADGP Mallana Gout along with his escorts came to refill their vehicles in the government filling station at 1st MR today.
The team was to leave for Moreh.
Around 7 Gypsies have filled the fuel, but the drivers could not ignite the engines
at all.
During the course of repairing the vehicles, it came light that the fuel supplied was a mix of petrol and diesel.
This led to a angry argument between the drivers and the men manning the said fuel outlet.
Some of the angry drivers informed Hueiyen Lanpao that the men manning the fuel outlet are near and dear ones of top government officials.
Even though it is well known that the works carried out by them is against the interest of the public, yet no one is able to point fingers at them.
The drivers also complained that the quantity of fuel supplied from the said fuel outlet is always less.
Minister M Oken has also appealed for a probe into the matter.
