No not yet. Yesterday they told Nepalese ambassador that they have already asked officials at customs to halt unofficial embargo. And today 60 Nepali oil Tankers went to siliguri to fill up their tanks through non protest kakarvitta route and they allowed to fill only 6 tanks. NOC replied right away that we want petrol to run economy of this country and not to spray a perfume and refused to import 6 oil tankers.
Trade Embargo Wreaks Havoc : Nepal Is Paying the Price for Standing Up to India - latimes
According to this article from 1989 during the Indian blockade of Nepal,things were so desperate that Bangladesh govt air lifted 1000 tons of petroleum to Kathmandu to easy the blockade effects. I think we should now co-operate like that before and start air lifting vital supply to Nepal to lessen the effect of the blockade until a solution is achieved.
But our ultimate goal should be to create an economic corridor from Bangladesh to Nepal through the Chicken neck.The narrowest point from Bangladesh border to Nepal border is only 25 km. So a underground tunnel might be a feasible idea in a long run. I think it is the only way to solve the Indian bully problem.
