Stating that the NOC’s decision to hike fuel prices is being implemented to loot the Nepali citizens of their hard-earned money, the student union warned to smear black soot on the faces of the employees of NOC.
Chairman Gajurel of the students union also warned the government of mass protest if the decision to hike fuel prices is not withdrawn. Earlier on Friday, the NOC hiked the prices of petrol and diesel by Rs 3 each. Following the decision of NOC, as many as six student unions have warned to stage protests across the country if the decision is not withdrawn.
