The District Police Office has safely escorted 10 tourist buses to their respective destinations following disruptions caused by a transport strike enforced by transport entrepreneurs.
According to District Police Office spokesperson Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Rabindra Khanal, the strike had left several tourist buses stranded in Sauraha. In response, the police provided secure escort services (scouting) to facilitate their movement.
Of the total buses, seven were heading toward Kathmandu and three toward Pokhara. The buses bound for Pokhara were escorted up to Muglin, while those en route to Kathmandu were escorted up to Mouwakhola, confirmed DSP Khanal.
The police utilized motorcycles to provide safe passage for the buses through the district checkpoints. The buses that received police escort include vehicles bearing registration numbers:
