Students announce protest against fuel price hike

The recent hike in the prices of petroleum products has left the students fuming.

To protest the hike, activists of the All Nepal National Free Students’ Union (ANNFSU) announced that they will bar the movement of government vehicles in front of all campuses and one hour chakkajam everyday till April 1 and stage anti-government protests from Thursday.

The protest programmes have been called demanding the government roll back the hike and announce the date for Free Student Union (FSU) elections, according to ANNFSU President Madhav Dhungel.

He further informed that the student unions are holding a meeting today to announce further protest programmes.

On March 26, the Nepal Oil Corporation jacked up the prices of petrol, diesel and kerosene by Rs 4 per litre in the name of curtailing losses and paying dues to the Indian Oil Corporation, the supplier of petroleum products to the state oil monopoly.

With the hike, one litre of petrol costs Rs 120, while diesel and kerosene cost Rs 89 per litre.
