Bagmati Province has made it mandatory for vehicle owners to plant embossed number plates on all registered vehicles. While the government held back from making it mandatory for all the vehicles nationwide after protests, the new ones or those registered within the province will still have to replace their existing ones with the new and sturdy embossed plates.
The Transport Department has ruled that all the vehicles registered within the Bagmati and Gandaki province must install embossed number plates before the end of the current Fiscal Year. It warned that the failure to do so will result in action by traffic police from Shrawan 1st onwards.
