Nepal Planning to Airlift Fuel Following India's Unofficial Blockage

Nepal is planning to airlift fuel from other countries following a halt in supply of petroleum products by southern neighbor India some two weeks ago.

The state-owned Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) is doing necessary work to ensure smooth fuel supply through airlifting after the Nepal government directed the firm to seek alternatives.

Nepal has been hit hard by the shortage of petroleum products and essential goods after India halted all the supplies through the unofficial blockade a fortnight ago. However, India has been denying such blockade.

The NOC held an emergency meeting Wednesday to plan airlifting fuel from Bangladesh in the short term and from China in the long run. However, no formal decision has been made yet.

The Himalayan nation relies heavily on India for its fuel.

What's the reason for the disruption in supply?

Nepal did not agree with India (which India was trying to enforce) to change constitution to Hindu country from secular country and Nepalese protested with slogan: BackoffIndia to tell them not to interfere in domestic matter of Nepal,so India unofficially stopped supplies.

There were some previous threads about it I think.

Basically, India is unhappy with the new Nepalese constitution, which they see as being unfair to Indian-origin Mahdesis in southern Nepal.

The Nepalese government had accused India of unofficially blockading Nepal, and have said they will go to China instead.

The Indian government claims they are not blockading Nepal, and that the supply trucks will not pass due to fear of Mahdesi protestors.

Regardless of claims by both sides, the fact is that thousands of trucks are piled up at the border and Nepal is running out of supplies.

A complete load of unadulterated rubbish. Don't comment when you have no knowledge. Refer this post which gives a fair summary.

Secular/Hindu reason mentioned by you does not exist. Learn up terms like Madhesi, Janjati, Tharu, Pahari, Himal, past Madhes agitations etc before you even begin to comment.

Thank You very much @Chinese-Dragon !

Mate, I'd rather you have someone sane answer that question. I would, but I'm in a rush

 

[Aepsilons]

yes brother.

Well whatever the case I hope those trucks will be able to do their supply drops , the Nepalis just had a devastating quake a couple of months back. The last thing they need is having to worry about oil shipments.

I'm arguing on a humanitarian level here, sans geopolitiks.

Really?

the Nepali MP fooled their people actually. Plus they are still fooling. Because blockade is done my Majority of Nepalese on no man's land.
