Imphal: Directorate of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution (CAF&PD), Manipur has appealed the people to purchase POL (Petrol and Diesel) only for their daily needs and not to resort to panic buying in public interest.

The directorate made the appeal in view of the prevailing situation that the general public have started resorting to panic buying of POL and have started queuing up at oil pumps.

“There is sufficient stock of MS-Petrol and HSD-Diesel in the state. There will be no shortage of stock of POL. All Petrol Pumps are directed to open as usual,” said Robertson Asem, director (CAF&PD), Manipur, on Thursday.

The director has asked police superintendents of all the districts to take up appropriate action against selling of petrol and diesel in black market.
