Far fewer number of vehicles are seen plying in the streets of five districts due to the strike, causing great distress to regular commuters. Public vehicles which includes both long-route buses as well as vans remain completely off the road while some private vehicles were seen plying on the streets in the affected districts including the Araniko highway that traverses through most of the affected districts, according to Metropolitan Traffic Police.Nepalnews.com
