KOZHIKODE: Two unions affiliated to BMS have approached the Centre demanding a CBI probe into the clandestine sale of contaminated fuel, a blend of petrol (MS) and high speed diesel HSD), to refill stations by the IOC.
Fuel worth several crores of rupees was accidentally adulterated at the IOC’s Feroke depot due to wrong decantation process. Protocol demands the contaminated fuel to be sent for recycling at the refinery. But unions allege the issue was hushed up and the fuel was sold to petrol stations in the six districts of Malabar.
