Chhakka Bahadur Dhami of Humla runs a small hotel in Kapan. The motorcycle he bought 14 months ago was the mainstay of his business. However, a month ago, his motorcycle went missing from the Buddhist area. After the motorcycle went missing, the happiness on his face disappeared. However, today, the traffic police have not only returned his motorcycle, but have also brought happiness back to the entire family on New Year's Eve.
After finding and getting his vehicle back within a month of its disappearance, he said, "I never thought such news would come. It was like getting a New Year's gift," he said.
Pramananda Kumar Ramdas' experience is also similar. The motorcycle he bought 3 years ago, earning one rupee each by working as a bricklayer, was lost within two years. When the vehicle was found and returned a year after it was lost, he exchanged his happiness with the traffic police by feeding laddus.
This is the scene of the Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office, Baggikhana, handing over 50 motorcycles and scooters found from various places to their owners on Monday. Some of the rich people who came to collect the vehicles said that they felt like they had received a 'New Year's gift' from the traffic police, and some even fed the police laddus. Someone expressed their gratitude by offering them food.
According to the office, 50 vehicles stolen at different times were found and handed over. On the occasion, office chief SSP Nawaraj Adhikari urged vehicle owners to adopt security measures such as GPS connection and use of handle locks.
