NEW DELHI: Defying High Court orders, oil PSU executives on Wednesday began their indefinite strike for higher wages, affecting gas supplies on the main trunk pipeline but aviation services were normal.

"Our strike began at 0600 hrs this morning. There is full compliance in all companies except HPCL," Oil Sector Officers' Association President Amit Kumar said.

The stike resulted in shutting down of gas supplies on Hajira-Vijaipur- Jagdishpur pipeline -- a phenomena that gas transporter GAIL blamed on the shutting of gas production by ONGC.

"There was no supplies from ONGC and we have to shut down the pipeline," Gail Chairman U D Choubey told PTI.

"Aviation services were not impacted by the strike and the company was refuelling airlplanes," Indian Oil Chairman Sarthak Behuria said.
