KATHMANDU: To address the demands of transport entrepreneurs who halted public transportation and launched a protest, the government has formed a dialogue committee involving both the government and the transport business representatives.

The negotiation team has been formed under the coordination of the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, consisting of four representatives from the transport entrepreneurs and seven from the government side.

After discussions on Monday between Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and transport entrepreneurs, an agreement was reached to establish a dialogue team for problem-solving.

The committee will hold meetings throughout the day to reach a consensus, request the provincial governments to halt any ongoing actions, and urge the transport entrepreneurs to call off the protest to create a conducive environment.
