Transport entrepreneurs, who have brought public transport service to a halt across the country, have called off their protest programs.. 

Following a directive from the federal government, the Gandaki Province government decided to suspend the ride-sharing regulations for a month. 

The transport entrepreneurs had shut down public transportation services in protest against the regulations introduced by the Gandaki Provincegovernment.

An agreement was reached between the federal government and the transport entrepreneurs at midnight on Monday itself. However, transport entrepreneurs waited for the Gandaki provincial government to withdraw the regulations before calling off the strike. 

As a result, despite the agreement, the general public had to suffer with no public transport available.

President of the National Federation of Nepal Transport Entrepreneurs Bijay Swar said that the protest programs have been withdrawn and public transport service resumed from today itself. 

An agreement was reached after repeated talks between high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport Management and transport entrepreneurs on Monday. 

The agreement was forwarded to the Gandaki Province government through the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers. 

Based on the recommendation from the federal government, the Gandaki government suspended the regulations for a month.
