Imphal, May 03 2017:
Despite the assurance given to issue petrol and diesel at oil depots of the state, many people could not get fuels as oil tankers did not deliver petrol and diesel to the oil depots.
Divers have ceased their work protesting the attack on oil tankers on Imphal-Dimapur road by arm militants.
The All Manipur Petroleum Products and Drivers Associations suspended their seized work and agreed to deliver oil to the oil depots after Chief Minister of Manipur assured them to fulfill their demands, yesterday.
Few oil tankers have started to deliver fuels to some oil depots while most of the oil depot in and around the city remains closed.
It is expected that most of the oil tankers will resume delivering fuels to the oil depots and fuels to the consumers will be made available by today evening.
There is a sufficient stock for 22 days at Malom Oil Depot.
Mention may be that cadres of KCP peoples' war group have fired bullets at the oil tankers on April 18 and 30, 2017 on Imphal-Dimapur, National Highway 1 .
Police have already arrested 4 KRA cadres in connection with the issue on April 21 .
