Petroleum truck drivers given Covid-19 jabs

Experts have warned that the government’s bowing down to the pressure of strike action could encourage more such strikes and protests for jabs.

At a time when the authorities are under tremendous pressure to manage sufficient jabs against the coronavirus for the most vulnerable elderly population, the government has started vaccinating the drivers associated with the Nepal Petroleum Tanker Drivers Association from Tuesday following their three-day strike demanding the jabs.
