AGARTALA, March 27 (TIWN): CPI-M's 24 yrs rule marked by utter chaos with civil supplies causing public life into disarray in capital Agartala & other towns. When it comes about demonetization, CPI-M leaves no stone unturned to hit the Central Government alleging huge public suffering during demonetization. But CPI-M ruled northeast state Tripura has been suffering from fuel crisis since long a year, but surprisingly the public suffering remain unseen by the Ministers and ruling party propagators. Since a long week petrol crisis is silently harassing the public with the excuse of All India Strike, but till day no step has been taken against the ongoing black marketing of fuel centering at North Tripura and other Districts. Apart from Ganaraj Chowmuhani petrol pump, other petrol pumps in Agartala left dry without any fuel affecting the vehicular movement highly.

Tripura has 6 times more storage of fuel as per the Govt data, but the reason behind petrol crisis remained unexplained till day. 

The fuel stations are disappointing the customers with full of 'no-petrol', 'no-diesel sign', neither any statement has been given by the state govt in this regard yet.

It's worthy to mention here that whereas petrol crisis has hit the state and more than 500 bikers are standing in rows before petrol pumps,on March 23rd the left front wing DYFI held a massive bike rally at Agartala.

For political rallies there are no shortage of fuel but for common men they have to measure while stepping out with their vehicles/ bikes.

Resentment has brewed among the petrol pump workers and as well as customers as continuous fights are going on for petrol.

The situation may turn dangerous after the board examination ends, as due to the board examination common people are not blocking roads which giving much relaxations to the Transport Dept. But as soon as the board exam will end the situation may turn critical.

The exact cause behind petrol crisis has not been properly explained by the food and civil service dept.
