Locals and businessmen of New Road staged a protest against the decision of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City to ban vehicles in the New Road area.
They staged a protest carrying placards and banners with various slogans like vehicle is our right in New Road, say yes to vehicle, New Road was built for vehicle, life without vehicle is impossible and vehicle is not for luxury in New Road among others.
Earlier, the metropolis had prohibited parking in New Road.
