This is the second unit the IOC is providing under its Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) in city.

Lauding the gesture of IOC, MP Pratap Simha said: “Apart from providing vital petroleum products to the country, the IOC has proved again and again as a good responsible corporate citizen by enriching the lives of the people through its various CSR activities.”
