Kathmandu

About two weeks ago, I was in line at around 6:30 in the morning to fill up my small Korean car


The problem heightened last week when IOC decided to supply NOC with only 1,200 kiloliters of fuel as opposed to the normal supply of 2,000. The shortage has also forced many private pumps to remain closed, while institutional pumps operated by security forces and Sajha Corporation have themselves been running out of supply on a regular basis.

These video clips, taken around Hariharbhawan, are of vehicles lined up to buy fuel at the Sajha Petrol Pump. Scenes like these have become normal at pumps in Kathmandu. Yesterday, the Sajha pump closed at midnight after running out.
