BHAIRAHAWA: As many as 18 vehicles carrying petroleum products entered Nepal via Belhiya border point in Rupandehi on Friday. Bhairahawa Customs Office chief Lavanya Kumar Dhakal said two tankers of petrol, 10 tankers of diesel and six bullets of gas entered Nepal via the border point. Supplies of daily essentials including fuel have been obstructed at various Indo-Nepal border points including Belhiya for last few weeks due to demonstrations staged by Madhes-based parties.
