He said closure of the depot had deprived the state of huge economic resources as well as posed a challenge to marketers in sourcing petroleum products outside the state.

“The state government should have taken it up when petroleum products were no longer supplied to the depot.

“Let me assure you that reopening of the depot will be one of my priorities

“We will do it to keep our state economically vibrant and to ensure that the petroleum products are easily supplied in the state.”
