Sajha to resume services
The Sajha Yatayat, the oldest public transportation in the country is resuming its services Thursday after 16 months, The Rising Nepal Daily reported.
Twelve buses will begin operating to Pokhara, Bhairahawa and Kalaiya and the short routes in the Kathmandu valley, Mukunda Raj Satyal, Managing Director of the Sajha Yatayat Cooperative Organisation said.
The Sajha Yatayat is planning to operate all its 40 buses after completing their overhaul within three months. The oldest public transportation incurred heavy losses following misappropriation and political intervention. nepalnews.com am May 15

Three questions to the reporter who filed that story:
Last time we knew, Sajha Yatayat was bankrupt.
Now we learn that it's back in operation, with an ambitious plan.
Question: How and from where did a previously bankrupt Sajha Yatayat raise cash now?
Mr. Mukunda Satyal is a former Sajha Yatayat senior manager. In fact, Satyal has
been in and out of Sajha for the last 20 years, and is one of those seniormost managers who should take much blame for the previous "heavy losses following misappropriation and political intervention" of Sajha.
Question: Now that he is back at Sajha for the fourth time, who appointed him to this new post of Managing Director of the Sajha Yatayat Cooperative Organisation, and
how?
For a previously bankrupt co-op with no clear show of present cash flow, its plans to get back on track by "operat[ing] all its 40 buses after completing their overhaul within three months" is ambitious. In the public interest, just how Sajha hopes to make money this time around?
