What the petition asks

After the crippling effects from the earthquake Nepal was starting to again find her feet. Now the Indian government is blocking important fuel for vehicles and cooking.
This is bringing the economy to a slowdown, as the wheels stop turning and the fires go out.
Nepal is a new democracy, the new Constituent Assembly (CA) in Nepal was elected on September 20, 2015. In this new CA Nepal has made huge advances, 30% are women and they have a female PM.

This government could bring about real change in a country much needing it. Removing corruption and encouraging transprancy. To offer jobs to the Nepalese youth, whom are currently leaving in huge numbers to find work in the gulf states such as Qatar.

To grow the economy they need this blockade to end soon
