"Analyzing the supply situation of next one week, we also will end all sorts of fuel rationings systems," Mukunda Ghimire, spokesperson of NOC told Republica.Following the crippling shortage of fuel in domestic market due to undeclared economic blockade imposed by India, NOC, effective from September last week, had introduced fuel rationing process for distributing available stock of petroleum products in the market.
