SHILLONG:
The office of the Deputy Commissioner, East Khasi Hills district, has informed the general public that there is no shortage of petrol or diesel in the district at present, and the public must not panic about the shortage of supply.
This was informed by the DC’s office after Shillong witnessed long queues at various petroleum outlets on November 24, following Assam Petroleum Mazdoor Union refusing to ply oil tankers in Meghalaya, and rumours of shortage of fuel in the state.
The DC’s office said that concerns expressed by oil companies/distributors/tanker drivers from outside the state are being addressed to ensure that petroleum supplies reach the district and the public do not suffer.
