Kathmandu, November 30

Apparently hit by the fury expressed by members of the public on social media and some spontaneous efforts to break the order, the government on Friday decided to withdraw the odd-even rationing imposed in the operation of vehicles and motorbikes in Kathmandu Valley.

In its bid to facilitate the movement of foreign VVIP guests during the Asia Pacific Summit beginning in Kathmandu today, the government had restricted the movement of vehicles from Thursday to Sunday.

However, public expressed their fury against the decision, forcing the government to go back on the second day.

The Metropolitan Traffic Police Division says all vehicles can play the roads, irrespective of their registration numbers, after 11:30 am today.

The Division informs that the Ministry of Home Affairs has directed it to take back the decision.
