The District Hotel Business Association (Kathmandu Chapter) had been raising concerns that police intervention forced businesses to close early, undermining customer satisfaction and business operations.
Although the association requested permission to operate overnight, the administration granted permission only until 11 pm. This move is expected to make a significant contribution to tourism and employment.
