Nepal Oli Corporation (NOC) has decided to keep petrol pumps open during the period of prohibitory order, which began Thursday, citing the necessity of fuel to vehicles providing most-essential services.
NOC Managing Director Surendra Kumar Pandey instructed Thankot Depot in Kathmandu to keep open the sale of petroleum products.
Pandey also urged the public not to imagine a scenario of crisis and assured that the regular supply of petro-products is uninterrupted. In the same vein, he urged not to crowd at fuel stations.
