PARADIP: The ongoing drivers’ strike against the new hit-and-run law has brought the export of petroleum products including LPG from IOCL’s Paradip Refinery to Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC), to a grinding halt.
As per sources, Paradip Refinery exports around 40 to 50 LPG bullets to NOC regularly.
However following the strike, disgruntled drivers have staged demonstration at several locations including Zero Point and Atharbanki, disrupting export of petroleum, oils and lubricants (POL) and LPG to several areas, particularly Nepal.
