The apex body of petroleum workers in Assam said it has stopped transportation of fuel to the neighbouring State.
Hundreds of vehicles were seen waiting at the petrol pumps as people scrambled to fill up tanks fearing shortage since Thursday afternoon. The queues of vehicles led to traffic snarls in the State capital Shillong and in other parts of the State as well.
