Infrastructure Development Committee Submits Report on Public Transport Management for Dashain 2083
Summary
The Infrastructure Development Committee has submitted a report warning that Dashain 2083 travel could become the most difficult in years if damaged roads are not repaired quickly and transport coordination is not improved. The report projects up to 1.5 million travelers from the valley and urges standby rescue equipment, traffic shifts, and reserve vehicles to ease pressure.
Key Points
- Vehicle registration delays have prevented new public vehicles from being added for Dashain, creating pressure on existing transport capacity.
- The committee's report warns that damaged roads, poor turnaround, and weak coordination could make this Dashain travel season extremely difficult.
- Up to 65,361 public-vehicle trips may be needed, with the biggest rush expected between Phoolpati and Asthami.
- The government has been urged to deploy heavy equipment, coordinate transport corridors, and use reserve vehicles if passenger demand spikes.
