The association had gone on strike after 17 tankers were damaged and drivers assaulted during recent protests held in the valley against land transfer to Sri Amarnathji Shrine Board.
Escorted by the CRPF personnel in presence of divisional commissioner (Jammu zone) Sandhanshu Panday, the tankers carried petrol and diesel of the Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Limited and Hindustan Petroleum, official sources said.
AJKOTA has also dispatched more than 100 tankers to Army formations in Kashmir, Kargil, Drass, Leh and Nobra belts of the Kashmir region.
