KATHMANDU: Department of Transport Management has circulated letters to its branch offices across the country on Friday to provide route permits to any companies willing for it.

Along with it, new companies can be registered at the department for permanent route permits after submitting required documents, said Department Spokesperson Tulsiram Aryal.

It is expected that the decision would dismantle the transport syndicates across the country. The Department has issued six new directive procedures after scraping three existing directives to provide the route permit to the new companies.
