An odd-even license plate system for plying of vehicles on alternated days has been enforced in Nepal today to reduce the impact of fuel shortage. The government has also asked international airlines to refuel planes abroad after the blockade of a key trade checkpoint with India by protesters who are opposing the country's new Constitution.
The fuel crisis follows the unrest in the Himalayan country's Terai region that has led to the blockade of Birgunj trade checkpoint with India, cutting off vital supplies, including petroleum products.
