KATHMANDU: Authorities have imposed a 15-day nighttime vehicle restriction on BP Highway amid hazardous monsoon conditions.

The inter-district security coordination committees of Kavre, Sindhuli, and Ramechhap districts made the decision during a joint meeting on Friday.

Except for freight trucks, all vehicles will be banned from operating between 6:30 PM and 5:00 AM.

The ban focuses on the high-risk stretch between Kavre Bhanjyang and Khurkot in Sindhuli. Vehicles traveling from Kathmandu will be stopped at Kavre Bhanjyang, while those heading toward Kathmandu will be halted at Khurkot.

The move aims to enhance safety amid monsoon-related landslides and road damage.
