The Indian government has tightened the unofficial blockade at the southern border in Nepalgunj as Nepal reels under the acute shortage of fuel products and soaring prices of daily commodities.
A total of 17 tankers and cargo trucks including three diesel tankers and two gas bullets entered Nepalgunj from Jamunaha border point in Banke district, said Nepalgunj Customs Office.
India has been sending minimal number of tankers carrying fuel products and cargo trucks laden with essential commodities.
Nepal Oil Corporation Regional Office, Nepalgunj, has complained that the Nepali tankers that were sent to the Gonda Depot of the Indian Oil Corporation across the border were given very little fuel. Only 10 per cent of the tankers are refilled in the Gonda Depot.
