Allegations of Petrol Adulteration Rock Makum Motors in Ledu

Makum Motors, an Indian Oil-operated petrol depot in Ledu, Tinsukia district, faces scrutiny after allegations surfaced regarding the mixing of water with petrol. A car owner’s engine failure, merely 3 kilometres after refuelling at the depot, brought the issue to light. This isn’t an isolated incident, as previous cases of similar malpractice have been reported. Vehicle owners have expressed their concerns, prompting Kanchan Bora, the general secretary of Tinsukia district committee of Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad, to demand a thorough investigation. A formal complaint has been lodged with the Ledu police station, leading to disruptions in the depot’s operational activities.
