Oil pumps in Manipur shut to protest attack on drivers

All oil pumps in Manipur were shut down from Monday morning by the All Petroleum Retail Outlet Dealers Association in response to the appeal by the oil and gas tankers’ drivers.

The drivers allege that the police and Central Reserve Police Force personnel escorting the tankers stood nearby as mute spectators. The drivers and others are demanding the arrest of the attackers, compensation for the damaged tankers and treatment of the injured drivers
