The road block had resulted in around 80 loaded gas bullets remaining stranded inside the LPG bottling plant.

The agitation will continue until the road is repaired, the club`™s spokesperson told media persons.

The club members also declared that they will never meet government officials and representatives until the road repairing work is started.
