Photo · mypeoplesreview.com

The Department of Transport Management has temporarily suspended the registration of all new public transport vehicles, including electric ones, across Nepal. This decision, aimed at addressing rising air pollution, traffic congestion, and disorderly public transportation, remains in effect until further notice. The move is intended to facilitate scientific management of public transport systems.

  • The suspension of new public vehicle registrations was issued via directives to provincial ministries and local bodies.
  • The government cited the need for scientific management in response to fuel price hikes and excessive vehicular pressure.
  • The decision was made in accordance with the Vehicle and Transport Management Act, 1993, which allows registration halts in the public interest.
  • No new public transport vehicles, including electric models, will be registered until a new arrangement is announced.
