The eight student unions affiliated with various political parties have asked the authorities to conduct ‘scientific’ review of fuel and transport price.

“Although the government has slightly reduced the price of fuel, it is not enough. Likewise, the price of public transport has also not been reduced. Therefore, we ask the government to immediately scientifically review the price of fuel and transport, and monitor the practice of adulteration of fuel,” states a joint press release issued by the eight student unions.

The unions have also said that though the transporters had promised to provide 45 percent concession to students, they have not implemented it fully.

The unions have said they will submit a memo in this regard to the Ministry of Labour and Transport Management.

They have threatened to take strong actions if their demands are not met.

The press release was issued after their joint meeting on Wednesday. nepalnews.com sd Nov 05 08
