Apr 28, Kathmandu- The Central Federation of Public Transport Nepal has given an 'ultimatum' to vacate the Maitighar-New Baneshwor road in Kathmandu within four days. The deadline was given on the grounds that public transport services were affected due to the road closure due to the teachers' strike.

Federation General Secretary Bharat Nepal demanded that an environment be created for uninterrupted public transport on the roads by next Thursday. “We had submitted a memorandum to the Home Minister through the Chief District Officer of Kathmandu. However, no response has been received so far.

He informed that a memorandum was submitted to Kathmandu Chief District Officer Rishi Ram Tiwari last Friday.

Under the leadership of the Nepal Teachers Federation, community school teachers across the country have been on a street protest in Kathmandu for the past 27 days. Due to the teachers' protest, transport services in the area have been affected.
