Permit no longer needed for essential services within Kathmandu

From Friday, the District Administration Office, Kathmandu started issuing travel permits only to those who have to travel out of the Valley for funeral rites or extremely essential purposes

On Friday morning, Dhurba Bhandari of Jayabageshwari, Kathmandu was standing in a queue along with hundreds of others outside the District Administration Office at Babarmahal for a travel permission. The prohibitory orders which came into effect from Thursday barred anyone, except for those associated with essential services, from travelling inside and outside the Kathmandu Valley without a travel permission.
