Protesters have allowed bikers to travel across the border to get the fuel
Raxaul:
Hit by fuel-crisis with no supplies from India for
over a two months, Nepal turns to China for help, diplomatic circles in
India may be worried, but on the ground, in Bihar's border town of
Raxaul, truckers like Jaylal Yadav say there's no other choice.Yadav's truck and 53 others from Nepal's oil corporation have been parked right opposite the Indian Oil Depot at Raxaul for over two months now. On a normal day, over 150 fuel trucks cross this border to Nepal, each carrying 10,000 to15000 litres of fuel, filling up from the Indian oil Depot. That's half of Nepal's daily fuel requirement.
But Yadav and other truckers are stuck, as protesters from Nepal, angry over the country's new constitution, have occupied a crucial road bridge on no man's land between the two countries.
