The country is suffering a major scarcity of petroleum products in decades, but there seems to be no way out from this horrifying situation. People are queing infront of the gas stations, kerosene distributors, and LPG distributors for hour to get meager amount of fuel, sacrificing all their works and duties. People are less worried about the shortage in petrol and diesel, but their main concern is the shortage in LPG gas and kerosene, as people are finding it difficult to cook food, the daily human need.
A month back, when the government has hiked the POL prices considering the fuel price hike in the international market. But when people came down to road and burnt tires for two days, the government took back the price hike and stated the normal previous price for the petroleum products...Is that step a really good one by this Loktantra government or was just afraid of loosing in the election? Why could not the government hold it's position and give a satisfactory explanation to the reason beyond the price hike? What a government and its authority. Now, since the government has hold its price hike, the IOC, the only distributor of fuel products to Nepal has cut down the distribution citing the reason that the NOC has not cleared the previous dues. The main question that everybody is asking is that no one buys the petroleum products on credit. If a general layman can purchase the fuel in cash, where all the money goes and why can't the government pay IOC for an efficient supply of fuel to Nepal? There is a great blackhole in which only money disappears, or one may say Bermuda Triangle in Nepal's goverment offices. Now the situation is that when the goverment hiked the price the price for a cylinder of LPG would cost Rs. 1250, but due to scarcity now, the black market price for per gas of cylinder is around Rs. 1500. If there is really a shortage, how are those black marketers getting the supply? The biggest question!!!!!!!!!!! and what is the use of burning tires and holding traffic. The only benefit I see from burning tires in the road is to dispose the old and worn out tires without any cost and to lessen the traffic for at least one day in the capital.
The condition of whole country has gone worst in few weeks. Everything is in shortage, from electricity, petroleum products, transportation, and even food products. People are even facing scarcity of the wood to burn their dead ones. This is really a horrified picture...and the question is in everybody's mind....What are we doing here?? Who have we elected to rule us?? Why Monarchy is not good than the theoritical Loktantra?? And many like these questions, but the answer seems to be coming from nowhere. We are just sitting here and hoping for the best to come in the future. But no matter who harsh is the condition, we never see any diplomatic/government vehicles in queue for petrol/diesel, or in queue for kerosene, or for LPG gas. Please the reader guess and let me know if there is an appropriate answer to this.
In this horrifying situation also, the government is doing nothing but just sitting back and giving worthless speches and enjoying their parties. The current government is just turning out to be a joke and Loktantra seems to just an ideology, which is far from being the truth. The petroleum crisis and the chaotic condition seems to be a good present to the Nepali citizens from the new Loktantra government. In this scenario, it seems really true, the statement from former Prime Minister, Krishna Prasad Bhattari that the "Monarchy" will be effective in Nepal till next 300 years. No matter how many people sacrifice their lives, home, and family, the leaders never seems to realize it's value....instead they are just centered on filling their pockets and giving high-ranked and worthless speeches.
The sense of patriotism is begining to dwindle in the citizens and the speeches of leaders are taken as joking materials nowadays. But apart from hoping for the best, we can do nothing since we have handed ourselves to a bunch of the inaffective, useless, shameless, and unpatriotic peoples.
May Pashupati Nath save our country. Jay Nepal!!!!!
