Kathmandu: An agreement has been reached between the Nepal Petroleum Tanker Drivers Association and the government.

The bilateral discussion, held in Singhadurbar on Monday, agreed upon fulfilling the demands of the Association within 15 days.

Nepal Petroleum Tanker Drivers Association put forth 7 points of demand and halted the supply of petroleum products from the Thankot Depo on Saturday. This resulted in the scarcity of petroleum products in the privately owned petrol pumps of Kathmandu Valley.
