LALITPUR, Feb. 7: The Sajha Yatayat, the oldest transport service in the country, which was closed due to various reasons, is getting a lifeline after five decades of its establishment.



The state-owned organization had faced misfortunes due to political interference and negligence of the stakeholders.[break]



The organization is all said to start services under the new management committee to carry out the administrative and managerial tasks. As per the plans, the organization will have green busses instead of blue ones of the past.



The organization´s general meeting held on May 20, 2011, had decided to run the services by transforming it into a non-government entity.



Chairman of the Sajaha Yatayat, Kanak Mani Dixit said the management will try to make its services modern, well-managed, transparent, and responsible to the society. However, he urged support from the government, civil society, donor agencies and others to make the services up to mark.



He claimed to remain far from political interference, saying that it was responsible whether or not to survive any organization for a long.



The organization has bidden farewell to around 800 staffers according to its regulations during the last seven month period to revive the organization.



Sajha has around 22 Ropanies of land at Pulchowk, Lalitpur, and other moveable and immovable properties across the country.



It has separated Rs. 60 million to purchase the vehicles at the beginning from the amount of the money received after selling its land in Birgunj.



The company has already appointed an Administrative Manager and a few staff for managerial works. The then King Mahendra had established the organization in 2018 B.S. chaired by Vishwa Bandu Thapa.
