In Agartala, auto drivers protest in front of the Milan Chakra CNG station, citing a persistent shortage of CNG gas. The blockade ensued after frustrated drivers, who had been queuing for hours, found themselves without gas due to a reported electricity issue halting supply at the station.
Authorities from the AD Nagar police station swiftly responded to the escalating situation, engaging in negotiations with the protestors. Despite efforts to quell tensions, the drivers remained steadfast in their demands for immediate resolution. Amidst the standoff, representatives from the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) joined discussions with the protestors in a bid to find common ground.
After intense deliberations, the agitated auto drivers eventually dispersed, allowing traffic to gradually resume its course. Meanwhile, the manager of the Edinburgh CNG station assured reporters of efforts to rectify the power problem, aiming for a swift resumption of CNG supply.
However, amidst the chaos, reports emerged of disruptive behavior from some car drivers, further complicating the situation. Despite these challenges, law enforcement eventually restored order.
