Belonia, July 10 (TIWN): From State capital Agartala to Belonia subdivisions, all are suffering from massive petrol crisis since 12 days.

Monday's report say that South Tripura is totally out of petrol, but in black market petrol is being sold at nearly Rs. 300 per litre in black market.

For the last four days the peoples of the city are facing a huge crisis of petrol with most of the pumps shut down while only two others mentioned a shortfall. Due to this people were seen waiting for refilling their vehicle tanks. While most of the pumps supplied fuel in short, other few ones were open for the whole day facing huge crowd of vehicles. 

A large section of oil tankers had suspended their load fleet during the Durga Puja days. On the other, anticipating further slash down of price of fuel, dealers of the state did not send advance requisition and payment to Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), which further deteriorated the situation, officials stated.
