MUMBAI: Badly hit after ONGC plant fire on Tuesday, CNG supply to pumps in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai has been completely restored, said Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) officials on Wednesday.The supply was badly hit on Tuesday following a fire at ONGC in Mumbai. The fire also affected public transport, with more than 40% autos off roads and equal number of Kaali Peeli taxis. The cut in supply had also affected buses, app-based cabs and private cars which run on green fuel.
“The services were gradually restored by Tuesday evening as the supply restarted from ONGC to the Mahanagar Gas Limited's City Gate station at Wadala. On Wednesday morning, the situation got completely back to normal and all pumps are getting sufficient supply,” said an official.
The queues at the pumps were long on Tuesday. Navbhartiya Shivahtuk Sanghthana union vice president Maqbool Mujawar said, "It took 3-4 hours of waiting in heavy rain for refuelling at some of the pumps on Tuesday."
The queues were comparatively smaller on Wednesday, sources in the auto unions said.
