Kathmandu, Sep 21, 2024 / A meeting of transport entrepreneurs including government representatives held at the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport on Saturday has directed that the roads under the Road Department be repaired and operated before Ghatasthapana so that passengers can easily reach their destinations during Tihar and Chhath festivals.
The meeting has decided to direct the Road Department to repair and operate all roads under the Road Department before Ghatasthapana and to operate only predetermined types of vehicles on BP Highways for road safety.
