Excitement fills the air in Pokhara's Lakeside as the High Court orders businesses to operate 24/7. The court's interim decision, in response to a petition by local Devi Kumari Baral, instructs the district administration office to allow round-the-clock operations. Pomnarayan Shrestha, chairman of the Pokhara Tourism Council, expresses relief, stating that the long-standing concerns of the tourism industry have been heard. The order addresses issues where police used to close establishments before 10 p.m., creating inconvenience for guests.
