TACKLING FUEL CRISIS
Nepal yesterday sought support from Bangladesh in tackling its crisis over fuel and meeting the need for other essentials, including rice and lifesaving drugs.
The request came when Nepalese Ambassador to Bangladesh Hari Kumar Shrestha met Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her official residence the Gono Bhaban.
After the meeting, PM's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim briefed reporters.
Expressing gratitude to Hasina for Bangladesh's assistance after a powerful earthquake hit the Nepalese people recently, the envoy said Nepal is now facing a serious petroleum crisis, making it hard to operate its industries.
In reply, the prime minister assured him of providing the Himalayan country with all possible assistance to get over its crises.
Hasina said the people of Nepal have been suffering a lot since the earthquake and Bangladesh would extend its all possible help to the affected people by sending rice and medicines.
About transportation of goods, she said, the Indian government has not made any objection to carry goods from Bangladesh to Nepal through India.
PM's International Affairs Advisor Gowher Rizvi and Principal Secretary Abul Kalam Azad were present.
