New Delhi: Following an indefinite strike called by the West Bengal Tankers Association, public transportation system in Kolkata and its adjoining districts was affected on Monday due to non-availability of fuel.
Almost all pumps in the metropolis and its adjoining districts including North and South 24 Parganas, Hooghly, Howrah, Nadia went dry due to lack of supply of petroleum from Maurigram and Budgebudge oil depots.
West Bengal Transport Minister Subhas Chakraborty convened a meeting during the day to sort out the impasse with the strike entering the fifth day on Monday.
Gautam Datta, General Manager, Indian Oil Corporation, West Bengal and the state level coordinator of oil companies, said the situation would be discussed at the meeting convened by the minister.
Ajit Das of the striking Tankers' Association said that they would continue the stir unless their demand for higher transportation rate from Mourigram and Budge Budge depots was met by oil companies.
