Tanker drivers' strike hits fuel supplies

July 12, 2011
Mangalore, July 12: Fuel supply in coastal Karnataka disrupted as drivers of tankers transporting oil from Indian Oil Corporation on Monday went on a sudden strike.

The drivers resorted to protest after they came to know that few of the tankers, transporting fuel from IOC situated near Tannirbavi, had been sized for allegedly stealing the oil.

Although 180 to 200 tankers transport fuel every day from IOC, only 34 kerosene-filled tankers on Monday were seen plying.

“It is not right to suspect us and treat us like thieves for the difference found in the quantity of the fuel before and after transportation,” said one of the protesters.

The protesters were demanding that the seized tankers should immediately be released.

Mangaluru, May 5: Even as the coastal city entered third phase of lockdown to contain the spread of covid-19, a wild bison was spotted in Mangaluru today. 

According to sources, local residents at Hathill area and Mannagudda area spotted bison. It is not sure whether it was the same bison or two different bison.

Some reports claimed that it was spotted in Kudroli area too triggering panic among people. 

With the help of local residents and police, the forest officials managed to catch the bison around noon.
