Daily commuter woes is often inevitable for those who live a fair distance from their locations of work or study and are required to travel by public transport networks that can regularly get congested.
One of the most annoying aspects of public transport commutes, especially with the use of the networks increasing in demand is overcrowding, and not even getting a seat to sit on during your travel. But imagine if not getting a seat didn't just mean you were standing during your journey but instead you were forced to literally hang off the bus or the train, or huddle on the top of the bus even in order to reach your destination.
Police said that the body of Mandip was found from a maize field of Ram Hari Gajurel in Gadi Bhanjayang of Tarakeshwor Municipality- 8 Kathmandu on September 6, 2015. One of the reasons this is happening more in the city of Kathmandu in Nepal is as a result of the current fuel crisis in the city and across the country, The 2015 Nepal Fuel Crisis began on 23 September 2015, and crippled economic activity and ran down crucial supplies including medicine. Normally, roughly 300 fuel related trucks enter a normal day, and this has dwindled to sporadic passage of 5-10 fuel trucks, though shipments of perishables like fruits and vegetables were allowed to pass. The crisis resulted from blockage and backup of fuel and goods trucks along Nepal's long border with India on the Indian side, by express order of Indian border officials.
The fuel crunch is severe and ongoing, despite reports of a few fuel and goods transits. So next time you are on your commute and you cannot get a seat, just be grateful you are not dangerously hanging outside the train or bus, or even worse... crammed onto the roof at a risk of falling off. Special thanks to Puskar.
