KATHMANDU: The District Administration Offices in the Kathmandu Valley on Wednesday will decide on the prohibitory order enforced since three weeks to stem the coronavirus’s spread.
The Chief District Officers of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur are scheduled to decide at a joint meeting of the District Security Committee on Wednesday.
A meeting of the District COVID-19 Crisis Management Center (DCCMC) of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Lalitpur held on Tuesday discussed easing the restrictions. The Chief District Officers reviewed the prohibitory order with Home Ministry Secretary Maheshwar Neupane.
Meanwhile, the Kathmandu Valley Municipality Forum has called for enforcement of an odd-even system in vehicular transport by easing the prohibitory order.
A meeting of the forum today suggested the local administration to allow vehicles other than mass public transport ones to ply in an odd and even system based on the date.
The forum has however concluded that strict enforcement of the health and safety protocol has to be ensured to ease the prohibitory order, said the secretary of the forum and Mayor of Madhyapur Thimi municipality Madan Sundar Shrestha.
It has also demanded more strict scrutiny of vehicles coming and leaving Kathmandu Valley while concluding that the responsibility be given to the Nepal Army.
The forum has decided to resume services from the ward offices in the valley, effective Thursday.
