Nepal bans cars with Indian registration plates from plying in Pokhara - Indian Roadie News

Bad news for Indian tourists! Nepal bans vehicles with Indian number plates from plying in Pokhara.

Nepal has banned vehicles with Indian number plates from plying in the tourist hub of Pokhara ahead of the new year, a move that has sparked an uproar among tourism entrepreneurs. Nepal aims to attract two million tourists, mostly Indians, by 2020 and Pokhara is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the country on Christmas and the new year. The decision to ban Indian vehicles was taken by Pokhara Tourism Council in consultation with the district administration of Kaski to ease traffic congestion during celebrations, officials said. Former chairperson of Western Regional Hotel Association Hari Gaire described the decision taken ahead of the new year year as "fatal".
"Besides Indian vehicles, vehicles from other countries may also enter here, so what do we really want to suggest by singling out Indian vehicles them?" he asked. Chief district administrator Ramesh K C said the ban will be lifted once the traffic police are ready to manage the congestion resulting from the influx of foreign vehicles.
The administration has requested Indian visitors to cooperate with the temporary provision and urged them to use local vehicles. Pokhara Tourism Council Chairperson Chiranjivi Pokharel defended the decision citing the positive effects it would have on the local business of travel agencies, entrepreneurs and cabbies.
"Only public vehicles have been banned, not private ones," he said. "Indian vehicles don't know the parking system and routes here, and will naturally cause traffic problem," he added. Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) has chalked out an ambitious plan seeking to increase the number of Indian tourists visiting the Himalayan country by up to 25 per cent in 2019.
In 2018, around 2,00,000 tourists from India visited Nepal by air. Nepal does not have a system to count the number of tourists coming by road from India. NTB launched 'Visit Nepal Year 2020' campaign in June to achieve two million arrivals from across the world by 2020 and a daily spend of over USD 75.

Ambulance stopped and attacked on NH34 in Murshidabad by CAB/ NRC protestors on Friday, 2019-12-13

Mindless, blood thirsty ruffians supposedly protesting the Citizens Amendment Bill 2019 and imposition of NRC in West Bengal were in no mood to spare an ambulance ferrying a critically ill patient on NH34 in Murshidabad, West Bengal on Friday, 2019-12-13.

Cancel your proposed drive, if any, through Bengal.

Everybody is left wondering why Muslims in Bengal are rioting against the new CAB bill. They must be illegal immigrants who have been doled out generous dose of appeasement goodies by political parties over years together in lieu of assured votes.
