Kathmandu - The Kathmandu valley municipality forum has called for enforcement of an odd-even system in vehicular transport by easing the prohibitory order.

It has also demanded more strict scrutiny of vehicles coming and leaving Kathmandu valley, while concluding that the responsibility be given to the Nepal Army. The forum has decided to resume services from the ward offices in the valley, effective Thursday.
