AGARTALA, March 22 (TIWN): Once again petrol crisis has hit state Tripura fueled by All India Strike of drivers. A clash emerged among the local people and the consumers at Ganraja Chowmuhani on Wednesday following 3 day long petrol crisis.

Reportedly, the vexed public were blocking the roads, burning tires at there. But the local people immediately came on the spot asking them to not to block the road as board examination is going on. The exam begins from 12 PM and the vehicles will go through this road.

With these arguments a clash emerged among the public, but police stood just merely a puppet at there.

The condition of diesel storage is also same, affecting the public vehicle movements. This crisis was unexpected and all of a sudden petrol pumps in Tripura revealed as dry. The Sunday affect was also a reason behind this, said another petrol pump worker.

Apart from Agartala the other subdivisions' conditions are also same.  But surprisingly, state govt is fully maintaining silence over it.

On the other hand in black market petrol rate at rise. At Dharmanagar petrol rate is Rs. 80 and in Agartala it's beginning from Rs. 100/-, however, in some places it's less than it. Eventhough petrol pump workers said the crisis will be ended by tomorrow but there is no guarantee of it.

In this condition the common people are suffering majorly whereas the Food and Civil Service officials are resting without any headache.
