KATHMANDU, June 8: The Supreme Court (SC) has issued an interim order asking the government authorities concerned not to stop online transactions and home delivery services even during the prohibitory period imposed to control and reduce COVID-10 transmission.

The order said, "Do not stop the companies providing sales and home delivery services using masks, sanitizer, PPE and following social distancing until the issue is settled.”
It would not be appropriate to stop home delivery services through online platforms to reduce congestion in the market and create a situation where the citizens do not have to go out of their house as much as possible, said the order.
