Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office has instructed its subordinate units not to shake hands with drivers and other service recipients during duty. Through an internal circular issued by the office's Superintendent of Police (SP) Naresh Raj Subedi, traffic police and employees have been instructed to greet each other from a distance instead of shaking hands.
The circular states that various complaints have been received from social media and the general public regarding the sight of traffic police shaking hands with drivers and other service recipients during checks and other duties. The office has stated that such activities send the wrong message and may raise questions about the impartiality of the police, and has completely prohibited shaking hands with drivers or other service recipients during duty.
The circular also warns that action will be taken against employees who violate the order. Traffic police have been asked to maintain professional dignity even when communicating with service recipients.
