“The recent developments will ease the situation in the country,” Nepal Oil Corporation Spokesperson Dipak Baral said. “But the situation won’t return to normal, unless we get (petroleum) supplies from Raxaul (India), which is located near Birgunj.” Cross-border vehicular movement has resumed from almost every Nepal-India border point in the last three days. However, not a single vehicle has passed through the border near Birgunj, where Madhesi parties are still staging protests.
People have heaved a sigh of relief, as more and more vehicles carrying petroleum products have started entering Nepali territory from Indian border points.
