Kathmandu, March 29
Transport entrepreneurs providing public transport services along the Araniko Highway connecting Kathmandu to Kavre, Sindhupalchok, Dolakha and Ramechhap districts have warned of launching a strike demanding that a permit issued to their new competitors be scrapped.
Recently, the Department of Transport Management has issued a permit to Mayur Yatayat which is preparing to operate 24 big buses from Kathmandu to Banepa of Kavre.
Organising a press conference in Kathmandu today, representatives of 13 business associations said they submitted a memorandum to the District Administration Offices of Bhaktapur and Kavre districts demanding that the new association be restricted from launching its business.
Otherwise, they would not operate buses along rural routes of Bhaktapur and Kavre from Sunday and and all buses playing the Highway from Wednesday, according to them.
