IMPHAL, Apr 11 : Altogether 89 loaded POL and LPG tankers escorted by CRPF reached Imphal today.
The convoy coming from Khatkhati, Assam includes 32 petrol tankers, 34 diesel tankers, 5 kerosene tankers and 18 LPG tankers.
It is reported that CRPF usually brought in 120 tankers on average in the recent past, but the number reduced this time as there were only 89 loaded tankers at Khatkhati.
According to some of the transporters, sending more empty tankers at the loading point of Assam is crucial as tankers belonging to Manipur are not loaded consecutively.
It may be mentioned that a convoy of empty bullet tankers left Imphal for Khatkhati yesterday with CRPF escorts to bring in the tankers.
