Nepal: YCL does Robin Hood!

Pretty much like the legendary Robin Hood and his band of outlawed men who were known for robbing the rich to provide for the poor, cadres of the Young Communist League (YCL) distributed more than 12,000 liters of kerosene freely to common people Monday after seizing it from Syarsekali Petrol Pump in Sunsari district during a raid a day before.

Reports said that the YCL men distributed the kerosene oil to thousands of common people by organising a programme where each family received two liters of kerosene. The market price for a liter of Kerosene oil is Rs 55.


Speaking at a ceremony organised before the distribution, Dhruba Budathoki, the local YCL chief, said that they will not spare anybody who gives hard times to the nation and common people

Kathmandu valley including various other cities across the country is facing a severe shortage of kerosene including other petroleum products from the past few months.
