Imphal: Fuel outlets operating in the valley districts of Manipur have decided to shut down for three days starting Friday due to alleged ‘financial crisis’ and ‘donation demands by various organisations’.
Representatives of the retail outlets made this announcement after an emergency meeting on Thursday, stating that any additional pressure during this time will result in further closures.
On February 10, the representatives had informed Chief Minister N Biren Singh that they might be forced to close their retail outlets if the financial demands or donations exceed their capacity to pay.
