STudents in Nepal clashed with police amid protests at a government decision to boost the prices of gasoline, diesel and cooking fuel by an average of 10 per cent. State-run Nepal Oil Corp. imports all oil products from India and says it had to increase the price because the cost of its supplies had increased and because it was facing losses.
