June 28: Government authorities have once again extended the Covid-19 prohibitory order in Kathmandu valley by a week, effective from June 29. However, the authorities have eased the restrictions to some extent, bringing respite to the people.

A meeting of the chief district officers of Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur, on Monday (June 28) decided to allow grocery stores to operate till 6 pm every day.

Similarly, departmental stores, shopping malls, cosmetic and gift shops, tailoring and clothing stores, jewelry shops, automobile showrooms, hardware and furniture shops among others will be allowed to operate from 11 am to 6 pm each day.

As per the decision, public vehicles with seating capacity of more than 25 passengers will now be allowed to operate in the valley from June 29. However, the vehicles will have to strictly follow the health protocol set by the government and operate under the odd-even rule.

Issuing a press statement, the District Administration Office, Kathmandu stated that public transport entrepreneurs are required to ensure the enforcement of public health protocols and physical distancing rule while operating their vehicles. This rule also applies to private vehicles, that have been operating since last week.

Vehicles will be allowed to operate between 6 am to 7 pm, inside the valley,  according to the state-owned national news agency RSS.

Meanwhile, wedding ceremonies and family gatherings are allowed within the premises of the private house with no more than 15 attendants.

The meeting of the CDOs of the three districts of Kathmandu Valley had announced to ease the lockdown from June 29, taking into consideration the decline in Covid-19 cases in the valley .
