KATHMANDU, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Eight student's union announced to initiate
struggle programs against Nepali government from Tuesday for ignoring their
demands and ultimatum.
According to eKantipur.com report, the irate students halted transportation
in front of colleges of the capital Kathmandu Valley from Tuesday morning for
half an hour as per their slated program.
Earlier, the eight student's union had submitted a memorandum to the
government to decrease the price of petroleum products in a scientific way and
imposing dual price for the industries and general people.
They had also demanded management of ration card for the students and the
common people and to rationalize the fares of the transportation in a systematic
way.
They had given a week of ultimatum to fulfill their demands.
Meanwhile, they have also announced to picket the Nepal Oil Corporation and
to stage a sit-in outside the office of the Prime Minister.
It is very much unlawful that the transport fares have been dropped by only
6 percent when the international price of the petroleum products has decreased
by almost 50 percent, said the protesting students.
Meanwhile, the union is due to hold a meeting Tuesday afternoon to discuss
about the public statements given by the leaders of All Nepal National
Independent Students Union Revolutionary.
