“The Nepal Police has put efforts to raise public awareness through various ways,” Bohara said. “Additionally, the younger generation appears to be more cultured in this regard, which is why the practice of throwing lolas or applying colours without consent has declined during Holi.”

Chief of Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office, Senior Superintendent of Police Binod Ghimire, shared that traffic checking campaign has been accelerated in Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur districts of the Valley from this morning.
