The unions of the corporation have stopped the fuel supply from all the depots nationwide following the collective decision made by the meeting of the Rastriya Karmachari Sangathan, Karmachari Sangh and Karmachari Union held in Kathmandu this morning.



“The supply has been stopped following the decision of the three unions’ meeting today,” Regional head of the NOC Jagarnath Ghimire said.
