Cooking gas cylinders black market

Thousands of residents line up with empty gas cylinders outside fuel depots every day.These people are wage earners, marginalized and low income people.However, Smugglers and black marketers reportedly get hold of the oil and gas brought from the Tarai for the Kathmandu Valley at the expense of the public, thanks to a nexus between bosses at the NOC, the authorised distributor of petroleum products in Nepal. That’s why oil is not available at petrol pumps, while it is easily available in the black market.
