Nepal Hit By Deadliest Fuel Crisis

After days of acute fuel shortage, the Kathmandu valley was Tuesday hit with its worst crisis in history as the state-owned petroleum importer and distributor reached the lowest level of fuel stocks and stopped supplies to gas stations.

‘Kathmandu valley now has just 300 kilolitres of petroleum,’ said Bishwanath Goyal, managing director of Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC). ‘This is the minimum mandatory stock we have to keep. We can’t sell any of it.’
