Guwahati : To ease the fuel crisis in the trouble torn and poll bound Manipur, the Centre had airlifted two oil tankers in the north eastern Indian state on Sunday evening.
According to the reports, an Indian Air Force's cargo plan had carried two oil tankers to Imphal.
In the first flight, two oil tankers carrying 20 and 13 kilo litres of diesel had brought to Manipur by the cargo plane.
Manipur is going to hold the assembly poll on March 4 and 8, and the north eastern Indian state faces shortage of essential commodities, specially petroleum products and medicines following the on-going economic blockade imposed by the United Naga Council (UNC) since November 1 last.
