AGARTALA, May 6 (TIWN): On the week's first working day, a massive traffic jam hit Agartala city during office arrival hours. The protest was staged in Agartala, Drop Gate area over National Highway after the CNG station employees told them that CNG was unavailable. Talking to the media, the agitators said, they have been facing this problem every day for the last month and today after waiting for five hours, when they said that no CNG was available, they were forced to stage the protest.
“We are not letting the issue go. Every day we are suffering due to the same problems. The problem of the CNG crisis is unending and power connection is the usual excuse shown by them,” said an agitator.
“Every day they say, due to no power connectivity. They can’t provide CNG. Is not it their problem ? Can't they keep alternative ways? It takes hours for us to collect CNG and it costs a huge quantity of CNG every day. How do we survive if only for CNG collection we need to exhaust huge fuel ?” said an auto driver.
Centering the traffic jam hundreds of vehicles were stuck on both sides of the road. As it’s an office day, due to a road blockade, many office goers, and school college attendees suffer in lines.
