SHILLONG: The Hynniewtrep Petroleum Workers Union on Thursday met Chief Minister Conrad Sangma urging him to reopen the Oil Storage Depot at Pyllun, Umiam in Ri Bhoi.
Union leader A Diengdoh said, “The main agenda of the discussion is to reopen the depot that started in 1992 and was closed down in 2009.”
He added that reopening of the oil storage will benefit the people of the state and ease the limited supply of petrol.
