Transportation workers of Butwal, Rupandehi district seized two tankers from the regional office of Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) at Bhairahawa and distributed it to entrepreneurs at the existing rate on Sunday. They resorted to such an action saying that shortage of petroleum goods was creating hand-to-mouth problem. The workers affiliated to All Nepal Transportation Workers Union, Rupandehi, brought the tankers at local Durga Diesels at Bhairahawa and gave the fuel away to entrepreneurs. Secretary of the Union, Bishnu Belbase, said the amount collected after selling diesel would be submitted to NOC. Due to the scarcity, vehicular movement on local highways has been reduced drastically.
