Effective today, tipper trucks are prohibited from operating between 5:00 am to 9:00 pm each day, and this restriction will remain in place until October 13.
The decision was made following a meeting of authorities concerned on Wednesday, prompted by a fatal tipper accident that occurred on the day of Ghatasthapana. Tipper entrepreneurs were also present in the meeting. The movement of tippers has been restricted on the Araniko and BP Highways.
In addition to this, the meeting agreed to conduct awareness classes targeting tippers and public vehicle drivers.
