The Mizoram government ordered rationing the purchase of diesel and petrol as the movement of vehicles, including the tankers carrying fuel, continued to remain shut on National Highway-306.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The order issued by the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department on Friday said that the state could face a huge crisis of fuel, which comes via neighbouring Assam, due to the inter-state border dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“All filling stations are instructed not to issue petrol and diesel beyond the permitted quantities. Only those vehicles that go to filling stations will be issued oil,” the order said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quantity of fuel that can be purchased at a time by heavy motor vehicles such as six, eight and twelve wheelers is capped at 50 litres, and 20 litres for medium motor vehicles like pick-up trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maximum three litres of oil is allowed for scooters, five litres for other two-wheelers, and 10 litres for cars, the order said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trucks carrying rice bags, oil and LPG will be allowed to get fuel, which will be sufficient enough for up and down travel, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drawing of fuel in containers or gallon barrels from filling stations is strictly prohibited, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The order also said that all filling stations will have to submit active stock positions to the state Legal Metrology Department every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They should not distribute oil without prior permission of the Supply Department when their stock position stands at 5,000 litres for petrol and 7,000 liters for high-speed diesel, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All filling stations will be opened from 6 am to 6 pm from Monday to Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The movement of vehicles on the NH-306 continued to be shut even as the Assam government withdrew the advisory over travelling in Mizoram, following the border clash between the two Northeastern states, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As most of Mizoram’s supplies come via Assam through the NH-306, the no movement of vehicles for the last two weeks has hit the resources, including essential items, they said.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
