IndianOil has partially resumed supply of LPG through vehicles of distributors and contractors in the wake of flash strike call by truck drivers.

"We began supply of LPG using LCVs of distributors and contractors..we started the operation late this afternoon", official sources told PTI in Chennai.

Truck drivers of IndianOil Tanking Ltd (IOTL) plant, a subsidiary of IndianOil Corporation Ltd, went on a flash strike on Thursday, demanding wage hike.

About 60 per cent of city''s requirements are supplied by IndianOil and majority of them are met by the company''s three plants at Ennore, Chengalput and Manali.

Nearly 260 truckloads, each of 300 cylinder capacity which had piled up owing to increased demand due to the festive season are expected to be supplied in Light Commercial Vehicles, they said.

They said talks are continuing with Government officials to resolve the issue.
