Indian fuel stations directed to refuse fuel to Nepali vehicles

JHAPA, Sept 30: At a time when Indian government has claimed that it has not imposed any sort of blockade in Nepal, Indian security personnel have adopted strict policy against Nepalis.

Indian Seema Surakshya Bal (SSB) has directed fuel stations in Indian towns not to provide fuel to vehicles with Nepali registration number.Majority of the fuel stations have closed after Indian Oil Corporation (NOC) stopped fuel supply to Nepal. As a result, mainly motorcyclists visited Panityanki, Naksalbadi, Galagaliya among other Indian towns, for fuel.

But, they have been refused fuel since Tuesday.

“SSB told us not to provide fuel to Nepali vehicles,” a fuel station owner told Republica.
