“According to the rule, odd-numbered vehicles can be used on the Valley roads on November 29, December 1 and December 3 while the even numbered vehicles will be allowed to run on November 30 and December 2,” Inspector Jitesh Dahal of MTPO said.
VVIPs including the head of states and governments of seven nations and delegates from the government of 45 nations will start arriving in Nepal from November 29 to attend the summit. The odd-even rule was in place also during the BIMSTEC Summit held recently in the capital.
The rule does not affect the movement of emergency vehicles like ambulance, water supply tankers, oil tankers, milk supply vehicles, and vehicles belonging to the media.
