Paramilitary force called in to refuel planes in Mumbai, Delhi

The country's largest fuel refiner, Indian Oil Corporation, has called in the Territorial Army personnel for refilling of jet fuel (ATF) at the Mumbai and Delhi airports.

"We have deployed Territorial Army (TA) personnel to refill aviation turbine fuel (ATF) at both Mumbai and Delhi airports," an IOC spokesperson said on Wednesday.

The TA personnel have been deployed in the wake of strike by around 55,000 officers from 13 oil PSUs associated with the Oil Sector Officers Association (OSOA) over non-revision of wages that was due from January 1, 2007.
