Nepal, June 2 -- Transport entrepreneurs halted all forms of public transportation across the country starting today.

On Sunday evening, organizations including the Central Federation of Public Transport Nepal, the National Federation of Nepal Transport Entrepreneurs, the Transport Entrepreneurs Federation Nepal, the Nepal Independent Transport Workers' Organization, and the Nepal Transport Workers' Union issued a joint statement announcing their decision to park all public vehicles in garages and launch a protest from Monday.
