Guwahati: Amid fervent protests in Assam over the Citizenship Amendment Act, PSU major Oil India Limited (OIL) issued an appeal to the people of the state on Saturday to allow it to carry out day-to-day operations, which the firm said have been “severely impacted”.
The appeal issued in leading English daily of the state, the Assam Tribune, cautioned that the “total disruption of OIL’s operational activities will adversely impact the economy of the State and the lives of the common people”.
Besides loss of production of crude oil and natural gas, the stoppage of OIL’s operations has badly hit production of LPG and supply of crude oil to refineries and consumers of natural gas like BVFCL, BCPL, NEEPCO, AGCL and APL among others, it said.
