Night vehicle movement banned on BP Highway section

Vehicular movement along the Kavre Bhanjyang–Bhakundebesi–Sindhuli section of the BP Highway has been restricted at night.

According to the Kavre District Administration Office, the restriction will remain in place from today until Tuesday. Vehicles, except ambulances and those providing essential services, will not be allowed to operate between 5 pm and 5 am on this stretch of the highway.

The decision was taken due to forecasts of heavy rainfall from Oct 3 to 6, which could pose risks along the highway, the office stated.
