Kathmandu, January 6 Putting on shoes while driving vehicles has been made mandatory for motorists and two-wheeler riders across the country. A joint meeting of Traffic Police officials, the Department of Transport Management, transport entrepreneurs and the transport unions today decided to make it mandatory for motorists and riders to wear shoes. A decision to this effect has been taken as a preventive measure to control road accidents.

According to traffic police, drivers& carelessness in wearing proper footwear is one among the many reasons for increasing road accidents. Senior Superintendent of Police Bim Prasad Dhakal, head of Metropolitan Traffic Police, Singha Durbar, said, &Slippers often slip away from the feet due to sweat, which can be dangerous while driving vehicles, especially while changing gears or stopping vehicles.& He further added that the new rule was introduced in a bid to control road accidents. Dhakal said they had formed a committee with representatives from the traffic police and unions to implement the decision.
