Indian Oil Corporation’s LPG cylinder transporters have withheld their agitation for a month after the company agreed to several of their demands, officials said on Monday.
Members of the North East Packed LPG Transporter Association (NEPLTA) had on December 4 stopped plying their trucks, alleging pending dues and low rates in recently floated tenders, thereby affecting supply of LPG in several states of the region.
“We have ended our strike temporarily after marathon discussions with the company management last week. They have agreed to several of our demands,” NEPLTA chief advisor Kumud Nath said.
When contacted, an Indian Oil Corporation official confirmed the development, and said the association has resumed operating trucks from Saturday night for one month till further discussions take place.
“During this period, IOC will work on our grievances. If they fail in that effort, we will consider our next course of action accordingly,” Nath said.
