Kathmandu, Sept 13: Public transport services in the Kathmandu Valley, which had remained halted since Tuesday due to Gen Z demonstrations, resumed on Saturday.

Only a few public vehicles were seen on the roads on Friday. However, there has been a noticeable increase in both vehicle movement and passenger activity today. Public buses have already left for Kathmandu from Chitwan, and more vehicles are expected to depart the Valley for other districts later this evening, he added.
