Officials from the Transport Management Office are printing details of a vehicle that is undergoing a pollution level check as the Lalitpur Metropolitan City is starting a drive to check the pollution level of vehicles, a measure to curb air pollution in Lalitpur, Nepal, on June 11, 2024. The Lalitpur Metropolitan City (LMC) is, for the first time in the Himalayan nation, checking the pollution level of both private and public four-wheeled vehicles plying on the road and offering a green sticker, signaling clean and well-maintained, in coordination with the Transport Management Office. Those who fail the pollution check are receiving a warning of a week to fix the vehicle, and upon passing the deadline, they would be subjected to punishment. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
