Vehicle owners have been waiting in long queues since morning to receive the diesel delivered to the IOC petrol station on the 01st due to the non-availability of diesel at the Ceypetco filling stations in Hatton.

Diesel fuel was provided at the filling stations for Rs. 2000 per vehicle

A large number of people had come near the petrol station to take diesel cans to the vehicles stopped halfway without diesel.

Only a few long-distance buses plying from Hatton were added to the service on today, while the Hatton Depot had added more SLTB buses for long-distance and short-distance services.
