2016-12-19
CPN-UML affiliated Youth Association of Nepal and ANNFSU protested against the price hike of petroleum products on Monday.
Youth association picketed Nepal Oil Corporation in Babarmahal while ANFSU demonstrated before RR Campus.
The protesters said that they would continue the protest until the decision of price hike is taken back. They even blamed that the price was hiked without any appropriate reason as the price at International Market hasn't changed at all. Corporation has increased the price of diesel, petrol, and kerosene by NRs 4.50/ litre.
