KATHMANDU
The chief district officers (CDOs) of the Kathmandu Valley are holding a meeting to take a decision on the extension of the prohibitory order.
The prohibitory order extended last is expiring today midnight. The CDOs of the Kathmandu Valley have already agreed in principle to extend the lockdown.
The meeting the CDOs of the three districts -Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur – to be held today will take an official decision on the lockdown.
As the daily reported Covid-19 cases are still not under control, the prohibitory period is likely to see an extension.
The ongoing regulatory period is scheduled to expire at midnight tonight.
During the last extension, the three CDOs had decided to clamp new regulatory measures on vehicular movement by allowing the plying of the vehicles on the valley roads only till 8:00 pm every day.
On Monday, 441 infections were reported in the capital city while Lalitpur and Bhaktapur reported 167 and 100 cases respectively.
