There was a crowd of people at the Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office, Baggikhana, since Tuesday morning.
Today, they arrived at the office, which they usually come to with problems and complaints, carrying cakes, laddus and snacks. The reason: their motorcycles and scooters that had been missing for months were found.
'Last month, my bike went missing near the traffic office,' said Dinesh Koirala of Gorkha, who is also a driver. 'I came here with laddus with joy after finding the bike.'
The office has recovered 60 motorcycles that were stolen at various times and handed them over to the concerned owners. Bhanusha Bhandari, who came to collect her scooter from Boudha after it was found, requested AIG Ishwar Karki of the Valley Police Office and SSP Nawaraj Adhikari, Chief of the Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office, to cut a cake and share happiness. Some of the wealthy people, who were happy after getting their lost vehicles back, honored the traffic police by feeding them cakes and laddus and snacks.
The SSP officer had requested the vehicle owners to use GPS systems and handle locks while returning the found vehicles.
The Valley Traffic Police Office has formed a 4-member committee under the leadership of the office's Information Officer, SP Naresh Subedi, to search for stolen motorcycles and scooters from various places in the Valley. The committee includes DSPs Krishna Khadka, Bed Bahadur Poudel and Chandra Bahadur Thapa of the District Police Range, Kathmandu.
According to the office, 1,080 applications were received in the five months from Bhadra to Poush. During that period, 201 vehicles were found, of which 181 have been handed over to the concerned owners. According to Information Officer, SP Subedi, 13 motorcycles and 25 people have been sent to the concerned police office for necessary action.
According to the office's statistics, 5,635 applications were filed for missing vehicles from 2080/081 to 2082/083. Of these, only 1,111 vehicles have been found. In this way, it appears that the police have been able to find only about 20 percent of the missing vehicles.
