Kathmandu [Nepal], April 29 (ANI): A prohibitory order has come into effect in Nepali capital Kathmandu along with adjoining districts as Himalayan Nation braces for second wave of COVID-19 infection.
Vehicles used only for emergency purpose plied on the roads of Kathmandu Valley with security personnel stationed in various points to ensure adoption of security as well as health protocols.
"It is the time when public should use their conscience and awareness. There is not a situation where we can welcome this step as many people are facing hardships due to this order, our economic condition already has remained fragile, but focusing only on the economy also would not work as both these issues are interdependent. It is the human life which comes first," Ishwar Mainali, one of the resident of Kathmandu told ANI.
