For the first time, a direct bus service has been launched from Khotehang Rural Municipality in the southern region of Khotang to Eastern Terai and Kathmandu. In collaboration with Khotang Transport Pvt. Ltd., the rural municipality has operated a daily bus service from Nigale in Ward No. 3 Sawaktare to Kathmandu and Itahari in East Terai.
Arrangements have been made to leave Khotang Bazar-Kathmandu at 4 am, Wakhutang-Gaighat at 5:30 am, Khotangbazar-Kathmandu at 5 am, Simpani-Kathmandu at 6:30 am and Khotangbazar-Gaighat at 6:30 am.
After the direct transport service from different places of the rural municipality, the residents of the southern region have to reach Beltar in Udaipur and have to take a bus. Access to transportation is getting easier in the villages of Khotang, which has ten local levels. Passengers from remote areas are forced to walk for two days to board a bus.
Khotehang rural municipality has accelerated the road construction work by connecting Kathmandu and Udayupar-Itahari direct transport network through the headquarters Diktel. After the roads that were built earlier were repaired and traffic was brought into operation, it became easier for the local residents of the rural areas to travel. As most of the rural roads are not up to standard, the risk of accidents is the same.
The fare rate has also been established in partnership with Khotang Rural Municipality and Khotang Transport Pvt. Ltd. Business Association. The fare for Khotang Bazar-Kathmandu is Rs 2,700 per person, Khotangbazar-Kathmandu is Rs 2,500, Simpani-Kathmandu is Rs 2,200 and Rasuvaghat-Kathmandu is Rs 1,900 per person.
Similarly, Wakhutang-Gaighat Rs 1,400, Khotangbazar-Gaighat Rs 1,200, Khotangbazar-Itahari Rs 1,600, Wakhutang-Itahari Rs 1,800, Simpani-Itahari Rs 1,500, Roxingbhanjyang-Gaighat Rs. General Secretary Hingmang informed that the fares have been fixed at 1,200, Khotangbazar-Rasuvaghat, 600 rupees, and Chipring-Gaighat, 1,300 rupees.
“Khotang Transport Pvt Ltd has started direct transport service from Khothang to Eastern Terai and Kathmandu after the bridge built on Sunkosi River at Phoksingtar on Everest National Highway.” Said General Secretary Ram Kumar Hingmang.
“Khotang Transport Pvt Ltd has operated a direct bus service in collaboration with the rural municipality by mediating the same problem.” He added._Rss
