KATHMANDU, June 3: The Gandaki Provincial Government has decided to suspend the implementation of the recently introduced “Gandaki Province Ride-Sharing (Regulation and Management) Guidelines, 2082” for one month.
The move comes in response to a request from the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, aimed at creating an environment conducive to normalising daily life by facilitating the withdrawal of the ongoing public transportation strike.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Engineer Kamal Kumar Adhikari, Provincial Secretary at the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure Development and Transport Management and Coordinator of the Dialogue Committee, said the committee—formed earlier by the ministry—has given itself a one-month deadline to conclude negotiations with relevant stakeholders, including transport-related federations and associations. The enforcement of the guidelines will remain on hold during this period.
