IMPHAL, July 9: It’s been now two days the empty oil tankers have not gone for refill due to the ongoing bandh and economic blockade called by the Kuki State Demand Committee (KSDC) from 5 AM of July 8. After the arrival of the 38 oil tankers loaded with diesel and petrol at Imphal before the starting of the bandh, there has been no further movement of the tankers. The oil tankers are ready to go for the refill at Khatkhati, Tinsukia and Numaligarh in Assam if they are provided with adequate security escorts and road opening patrols (ROP) by security personnel.
