| Quote: | Nepal's multi-party government reversed an increase in fuel prices on Sunday, bowing to angry protests that had paralysed the capital for two days, a minister said.
Activists had torched dozens of vehicles, burned tyres, stopped traffic and forced businesses to close in the city following Friday's move to raise prices by up to 38 per cent. |
There's a tipping point where people become angry with oil price... Let's figure out where is ours in rich countries! |
