KATHMANDU: Public transport entrepreneurs have urged the government not to allow private vehicles from ferrying passengers at a time when public transportation has not been allowed to ply the streets due to the lockdown.

A delegation of the Federation of Nepali National Transport Entrepreneurs on Wednesday morning met with Home Secretary Maheshwar Neupane and submitted a memorandum urging the ministry to not allow private vehicles to ferry passengers.

Likewise, they have said that the private vehicles were found overcharging people taking advantage of the lockdown.

Secretary Neupane said the ministry would do the needful.
