Government Misses 100-Day Target to Install CCTV in Public Transport, Regulate Ride-Sharing Safety

Kathmandu. The government has fallen short of its 100-day commitment to strengthen passenger safety by installing CCTV cameras and dashcams in public transport vehicles and introducing mandatory SOS features in ride-sharing platforms.

The commitment was included in the 100-point Administrative Reform Action Plan approved during the first Cabinet meeting after the formation of the new government. Under Point No. 98 of the plan, the government pledged to complete the installation of security technologies in public transport within 30 days and require ride-sharing platforms to integrate SOS buttons for emergency reporting to police.
