Petroleum transporters to protest from Jan 11

KATHMANDU, Jan 7

Nepal Petroleum Transport Entrepreneurs Federation (NPTEF) will not transport petroleum products from January 11 unless their demands are addressed by the government and Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC). The NPTEF in its press release issued today has also warned not to obtain product deliver orders beginning January 9 if their demands are not met.

The NPTEF has long been asking the government and NOC to fulfill various demands, including revision in transport fare and insurance coverage conditions. The NPTEF had last reminded the government about these demands on December 18.

According to the NPTEF, both the government and NOC have not responsed to its calls.

The NPTEF has formed an eight-member group under Khageshwor Bohora to launch protest programmes and hold talks with the government and NOC . The protest will last until the federation’s demands are addressed by the concerned parties.
