KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 5

Traffic in the capital was heavily disrupted on Friday as the mass gathering organised by KP Oli faction of the ruling party unfolded mid-city in Durbarmarg.

Movement within the city was affected as traffic police personnel diverted vehicles from many points of Kathmandu resulting in all-round congestion.

The traffic police stopped any vehicular movement around the Durbarmarg area which added to the congestion as many vehicles had to struggle to get by another way around the city. Movement in Durbarmarg was controlled since Thursday evening.

Likewise, public transportation was disallowed entry within Ring-Road causing much trouble for commuters that had to get from one part of the city to another.
