Odd-even rule lifted for private vehicles, taxis

KATHMANDU: Odd-even rule enforced on all private vehicles and taxis in Kathmandu valley has been lifted from Sunday night. A meeting of the Chief District Officers (CDOs) of three districts — Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur — of the Kathmandu valley held on Sunday lifted the odd-even rule, enforced by the meeting of the Covid 19 Crisis Management Coordination Centre (CCMCC). With the increase of coronavirus cases in the country, the odd-even vehicle rationing system was enforced on public and private vehicles in Kathmandu Valley to be effective from January 22. However, the odd-even vehicle system imposed on public vehicles was removed last week. Similarly, the meeting of three CDOs took the decision that physical class could be run following health safety protocols in the case of students above 12 years from February 13. However, the schools have been asked to arrange alternative classes in case of students below 12 years. Likewise, a decision was taken to allow to operate night business like dance bar, club till 10:00 pm from February 13. The meeting, however, has restricted all types of rallies, gatherings, festivals. READ ALSO:
