Surkhet Police Seize Government Vehicles Operating Without Permission on Public Holidays

Surkhet. The Surkhet police have started impounding government vehicles operating without permission on public holidays.

On Sunday, police teams were mobilized from the District Police Office Surkhet and subordinate police units to take such vehicles under control.

According to Surkhet police, about a dozen small and large vehicles were impounded on Sunday.

'Small/large vehicles from various government offices that were traveling without a vehicle pass on public holidays in various places in the capital have been impounded,' said Mohan Jung Budhathapa, spokesperson for the District Police Office Surkhet. 'We have kept them at the office for further necessary action.'

In view of the fuel shortage and rising prices in the global market due to the Iran war, a policy has been introduced to give two days off a week to reduce oil consumption.

However, the police have stated that they have started monitoring government office employees who have been violating this policy.
