TRANSPORT ENTREPRENEURS WARN OF FARE HIKE

Two day after the rise in prices of petroleum products, transport entrepreneurs have warned that they will be compelled to hike transportation fares if the government did not fulfill their demands immediately.
Speaking at a programme in the capital on Sunday, they served a three-day ultimatum to the government to either revoke its decision to hike the price of petroleum products or increase transport fares accordingly.

President of the Federation of Nepalese National Transport Entrepreneurs (FNNTE), Yogendra Karmacharya, said the entrepreneurs have been bearing losses since the government increased the price of diesel and petrol six months ago. “Now we cannot wait anymore,” report quoted him as saying.
Vice-president of the Federation of Nepalese Transport Entrepreneurs (FNTE), Tulsi Ram Maharjan, said they have decided to hike the fares for short distance routes by Rs 2. “We have been called by the Ministry of Labour and Transport Management (MoLTM) tomorrow at 2 p.m. to discuss the matter,” he said.
However, MoLTM spokesperson said there was no decision on the issue of fare hike as the office remained closed on Saturday and Sunday.
On November 7, the Fare Review and Recommendation Committee had suggested the government to hike transport fares by 12 and 15 percent respectively for long or medium routes and short or local transportation. Likewise, the committee had recommended 16 percent hike in the existing fare of meter taxis.
Meanwhile, transport workers have demanded that the government revoke its decision to raise the price of petroleum products. “The government’s decision to provide monopoly in deciding the price of petroleum products will cause much difficulty to the people,” stated a release issued by the Independent Transport Workers’ Association of Nepal (ITWAN).
Following permission from the government, the Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) on Friday announced increase in the fuel price. The NOC has allowed private dealers to fix the price of petroleum products sold from outlets

TRUE FRIENDS ARE RARE!

Finding new frens is not difficult .You can make as many frens as you can.when you meet .Somebody somewhere lets say at school or college and you talk to him/her in a friendly manner and so does he /she,ther your frenship exsists.It is now upon you whether to continue thatfrenship or not.He/she may be your good fren even best frens but it is not necessary that he/she is your true frens.Somethimes it happens that youhave true fren and you don't know about that.It is said that true frens are those whom you can share feelings,emotions,problems or everything you have .but it may not always be true.Many frens just be with you when you are happy,you have money and leave you to suffer alone when you are in trouble.besides these frens,of course,true frens be always with you, with us.So,it's time to find out whether you really have true fren or they just predend to be so.They really give you support when you are suffering or not.Do they really support for your prosporous live,your progress and success in every step that you have taken?this is the question from my side to all of my frens.If you find the answer to this question which is affirmative then you really have true frens otherwise not.So,do search for true frens coz it's very rare .Definately one,which is rare,is most valuable.-Chikur Sharma
