With the shortage of cooking gas—also known as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)—showing no sign of returning to normalcy, the short supply has left the people high and dry.
The frustration of the price hike in petroleum products coupled with scarcity of fuel have led the locals to take matter into their own hands.
Locals of Sallaghari took control of three vehicles loaded with Himal Gas at Sallaghari in Bhaktapur on Wednesday.
A Tata mobile with 280 gas cylinders was heading for the Capital from Kavre. General people stood in the middle of the road risking their lives to block the vehicle. However, the consumers have not taken any of LPG cylinders free of cost. They have paid Rs 1415 per cylinder. Some of them bought new gas cylinder. According to the vehicle staff, some of gas cylinders have been lost due to consumer clash.
