All activities in the century old Indian Oil Corporation Limited owned Digboi refinery in upper Assam’s Tinsukia district came to a grinding halt on monday morning following heavy economic blockade imposed by Brihattar Aikya Mancha, a conglomerate of various organisations in support of various demands.
