Fuel shortage

Kathmandu, May 11 (Reuters): Hundreds of cars and motorcycles lined up at petrol stations in the Nepali capital today, after Indian Oil Corporation reduced fuel supplies because it had not been paid its dues.

The state-run Nepal Oil Corporation, which enjoys a monopoly in the distribution of fuel, said it had run out of stock after the Indian Oil Corporation reduced supplies by nearly 40 per cent due to the non-payment of bills.
