The Transport Workers’ Association has withdrawn its protest programs following an agreement with the government on Tuesday. The meeting between the agitating transport workers and government representatives was held in Singha Durbar this morning. Nepal Transport Independent Workers’ Organization said that they decided to withdraw the protest programs after the government vowed to address their demands.

The government called the transport workers for the meeting after they took to the streets putting forth 10-point demands.

Issuing a statement on Monday, the three transport workers’ association—Nepal Transport Independent Workers’ Organization, All Nepal Transport Workers’ Union and Nepal Transport Workers’ Union—had announced that they would halt public transport services indefinitely in the Kathmandu Valley from today if the government did not heed to their demands. Earlier on Monday, transport workers and police personnel clashed in the Balaju area. The situation took an ugly turn after the transport workers set a police van on fire.
