KathmanduPati September 08, 2020

KATHMANDU : The Kathmandu valley municipality forum has called for enforcement of an odd-even system in vehicular transport by easing the prohibitory order. A meeting of the forum today suggested the local administration to allow vehicles other than mass public transport ones to operate according to an odd and even system based on the date.

The forum has, however, concluded that the strict enforcement of health and safety protocol has to be ensured to ease the prohibitory order, according to Secretary of the forum and Mayor of Madhyapur Thimi municipality, Madan Sundar Shrestha.

It has also demanded a stricter scrutiny of vehicles coming in and out of Kathmandu valley, while concluding that the responsibility be given to the Nepal Army. The forum has decided to resume services from the ward offices in the valley, effective Thursday.
