A luggage tag system will be implemented on long-distance public transport vehicles departing from Kathmandu Valley starting May 29 to enhance passenger safety and manage belongings. The initiative, formalized through an agreement between the Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office and the Federation of Nepalese National Transport Entrepreneurs, aims to prevent luggage loss, theft, and swapping.

Kathmandu traffic police have taken action against 1,922 drivers in the valley within 24 hours, collecting Rs 1.97 million in revenue. In a separate operation, five drivers were arrested in the Thali area for operating vehicles under the influence of drugs, according to police.
