At present, LPG stock at Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL)’s Gas Bottling Plant, Sekmai, Imphal, is almost nil now,  the reports said quoting official sources.

Normally, the lone gas bottling plant supplies 40-45 loads of refilled LPG cylinders to local LPG distributors on a daily basis, however now the number of loads has been reduced to 12.

Meanwhile, IOCL Malom Oil Depot has almost run out of stock due to the supply disruption. Shipment of essential items for the land-locked Manipur is done along Imphal-Jiribam road and Imphal-Dimapur road, which are considered lifelines of the state. (NNN)
