LPG tanker’s strike continues- Talks fails
Posted on: 03/Feb/2015 10:36:16 AM
For the last three days the LPG tanker owners from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Pondicherry, Kerala and Karnataka are on strike. A meeting was held to resolve the ongoing strike. But the talks ended in failure.
The LPG Tankers’ strike, which will enter its fifth day on Tuesday, is depleting the stock of LPG cylinders in the southern region. The strike arises from a dispute on prices paid - a difference of 12 paise per ton per kilometer - for transporting LPG cylinders to godowns. The rate that truck owners are asking is higher than the one the tanker owners are willing to accept in the Western region, which has the highest diesel prices.
