KATHMANDU, Sept 18: With the government not opening advance tickets for Dashain, the number of people leaving Kathmandu before Ghatasthapana has increased.
In the past week, 70,000 people have left Kathmandu. Due to the Gen Z protests, people anticipated an uncomfortable environment in the city, and the number of travelers heading to villages had already increased from Bhadra 25.
