Ring Road is Declared No parking zone

In a bid to mitigate road accident and regulate traffic system inside the Kathmandu valley, the metropolitan traffic police division has declared 26 kilometer long ring road a no parking zone from Sunday.
On Sunday, police took action against the owner of the 86 vehicles parked in the different places of ring road including Tilganga, Chabahil, Balkhu, Sanepa, Kusunti and Sinamangal. The vehicles that were parked in different prohibited areas and hindered vehicular movement were fined under the existing law.
Disrict Superintendent of Police Basanta Panta of Metropolitan Traffic Police Division said stringent actions will be taken if people remain adamant about the illegal parking. If the situation does not improve, we will be forced to resort to stricker measures to implement the rule he further add.
In a bid to ensure effective implementation of the new measures, Metropolitan Traffic Police Division has deployed around 50 personnel from the traffic & civil police to monitor the ring road area round the clock. According to Panta, the no parking mission directed by the metropolitan police commisioners office on its first stage would focus on clearing the parked vehicles from the ring road and the foot paths on either side of it. We will be informing the public about the new rule said Panta. For vehicles entering the valley from other districts, we will disseminate the message at the Thankot and Nagdhunga check points.
On its second stage, the drive will clear the green belt circle round the ring road. According to Panta , 25 meters on either side of the road will be cleared and declared a ‘non- parking area.’ Action wil be taken against the vehicles parked in places except the ones designated for parking said Basanta Panta, the District Superintendent of Police.
