KATHMANDU, April 24: The teachers' protest has been affecting daily traffic movement in Kathmandu.
However, a separate program being organized by the ruling CPN-UML at Exhibition Road is expected to further impact the flow of traffic. Due to the stage construction for the program at Exhibition Road, vehicular movement in the area has been halted since early morning. Traffic has been diverted through Padmodaya, Rastriya Sabha Griha and near Kathmandu Model Hospital.

For the event, large vehicles have been directed to park at Tundikhel, small four-wheelers at Dashrath Stadium in Tripureshwor and two-wheelers near the Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office at Ramshah Path.
Vehicles heading from Maitighar to New Baneshwar have been diverted through various routes because of the teachers' protest. However, vehicles coming from New Baneshwar are operating via the service lane.
Due to increased traffic during peak hours, vehicles passing through Gwarko, Lokanthali, Jadibutti, Koteshwor, Chabahil, Maharajgunj, New Bus Park Gate, Sorhakhutte, Lainchaur, Keshar Mahal, Putalisadak, Padmodaya Mode, Singha Durbar, Nagasthan, Maitighar, Thapathali, Kupondole, and Tripureshwor in the Kathmandu Valley are currently moving slowly in queues.
