 With the election date drawing near, long queues of people returning to their villages can be seen at major entry and exit points of the federal capital and at bus parks, indicating that the election atmosphere in the country has reached its peak.

A large number of passengers have been observed since early morning at the New Bus Park (Gongabu) and the Kalanki area. In particular, there has been a significant number of travelers heading toward Sudur Paschim, Karnali, Lumbini, and Madhesh provinces.
