DANG: Minister for Supplies Ganesh Man Pun has said that the process of signing a petrol trade deal with China had reached the final stage. At a news conference organised by the Reporters' Club, in Dang today, Minister Pun assured that the supply of petroleum products to the country would be easy after Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's visit to China. He added that the agreement on trade and transit would be signed during the PM's China visit scheduled for March third week. Minister Pun claimed that the government was working with all possible alternatives to ease the fuel supply in the country. Shortage of petroleum products has been seen in the market as the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) was not providing fuel to the country as per demand, according to Minister Pun. He further said the government had been continuing market monitoring as it received massive complaints of market irregularities from the public.
