Petro prices gulfs Kathmandu with flames!!

Posted by Rabin on January 23, 2008

On 21st January night, Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) hiked the prices of Diesel, kerosene and LP Gas, taking to 3 times in 3 months. There were no huge protest last times but this time, Kathmandu is reeling under the protests. Government has blamed international market price of petroleum products and NOC’s as reason to increase prices.

But the sad part is, tyres are again being burnt by protesters.

These videos are of Thamel, a tourist area. As you can see, tyres are being unloaded from Rickshaw and being burnt. Though burning tyres have negative impact on public health and environment, protester don’t seem to take it.
