Araniko Highway transport cartel surrenders, resumes service without withdrawing strike

Kathmandu, April 5

A group of 11 transport entrepreneur committees, which had resorted to an indefinite strike on Wednesday in protest of the government decision to issue permits to other companies also on the route, resumed their services today.

Though the group did not announce withdrawal of its protest programmes, the buses are plying the road smoothly.

Earlier, the Department of Transport Management had warned that it would cancel their permits if they continued the strike.

Meanwhile, after the committees announced the strike yesterday, the Department has already issued permits to at least five companies including Sajha Yatayat, Mayur Yatayat, Mahanagar Yatayat, Metro City Yatayat to launch their services on the route. This has apparently ended the monopoly of cartel.
