KATHMANDU, July 23: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Bijay Kumar Gachchhadar inaugurated the Metro Traffic FM 95.5 operated by the Metropolitan Traffic Police amidst a ceremony today.
On the occasion, the Deputy Prime Minister praised the Nepal Police for its role in controlling crimes, despite having limited resources.

The Home Minister further said that ensuring peace and security in the country was the top priority of the incumbent government.
He said that he has not directed the police administration to release political leaders and cadres arrested on the charge of their involvement in crime and has not committed such deeds that hurt the nation and the people.
Gachchhadar said credit for bringing revolution in the country´s communication sector goes to the ´Communication Policy´ that was implemented 20 years ago when he had assumed the Ministry of Information and Communications.
Talking about the present political confusion in the country, he said only election could give a way out to the country.
Also speaking on the occasion, Finance Secretary Krishnahari Baskota urged the traffic police to focus its activities on security of passengers especially travelling in public vehicles.
