Violation of traffic rules, especially by two-wheelers, was rampant during the strike called by Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (Nefin) on Saturday.

Numerous motorcycles were seen riding with two pillion riders during the strike. Riding with two pillion riders is a sheer violation of traffic rules and is also considered as an unsafe way of travelling on a two-wheeler.

Though large numbers of traffic personnel were seen on the road, they were seen reluctant to take action against those offenders.

The strike has a minimal effect in general life as motorcycles, private as well as public vehicles are operating in big numbers defying the strike.
