KAVRE, Oct 3: Authorities have imposed a six-day ban on night travel along the BP Highway, citing increased risks as monsoon activity intensifies. The Kavrepalanchok District Administration Office announced that the restriction will remain in effect from Thursday until October 7.
According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA), heavy rainfall is expected between October 3 and 6. To minimize potential risks, all vehicles—except ambulances and those providing essential services—will be prohibited from operating at night during this period.
