Petrol supply normal, diesel scarcity worsens
The Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) said Thursday that it has managed to improve petrol availability, but has slashed the supply of diesel and kerosene -- the two major loss making items -- augmenting their shortage in the market. The corporation is presently pumping out about 110,000 liters of diesel a day in the Kathmandu Valley, shows NOC records. This is just about 40 percent of what used to be consumed here during normal times.
