Kaski District Police Office took legal action against 898 motorcycles during a year of Operation 365 in Kaski, targeting bikes modified to produce loud noise, altered in appearance or used in ways that created fear on the roads. Reports on the operation also say police took action against riders, although the reported figures differ: Nagarik News put the number at 29, while Ratopati reported that 36 people were taken under control.
Focus on modified motorcycles and public disturbance
Operation 365 was directed at motorcycles whose modifications produced excessive noise and disturbed public peace. Police also acted against motorcycles whose appearance had been altered and those associated with creating terror on the roads, according to reports on the campaign. The figures cover enforcement carried out over one year by the district police office.
The total of 898 motorcycles is the clearest shared figure in the reports. It indicates the scale of action recorded by Kaski police during the operation, while the reported action against riders provides a separate measure of enforcement involving people. The available accounts do not specify how many motorcycles were linked to each type of alleged violation, or whether individual motorcycles were cited for more than one issue.
The operation’s stated focus was not limited to the sound produced by motorcycles. It also addressed altered appearance and conduct described as creating fear on roads. Together, these concerns framed the campaign as an effort to respond to behaviour and vehicle modifications that police said affected public peace and road users.
Reports differ on the number of people taken into action
The two reports provide different totals for the people affected by police action. Nagarik News reported that 29 riders were taken into action alongside the 898 motorcycles. Ratopati, meanwhile, reported that 36 people were taken under control. The figures should be treated as separate accounts rather than combined: the reports use different descriptions and do not explain the reason for the difference.
Neither figure changes the reported motorcycle total, but the variation means the number of riders or people involved cannot be stated as a single confirmed figure on the basis of these accounts. The reports also do not provide a breakdown of what action was taken in each case, the number of repeat incidents, or how many motorcycles were subject to particular modifications.
A year-long enforcement campaign
The one-year period gives Operation 365 a sustained enforcement scope rather than describing a single roadside action. The reported 898 motorcycles were dealt with over the course of that campaign in Kaski. The available information, however, does not identify the exact start and end dates, the locations of individual checks, or the specific penalties imposed.
The figures published by Nagarik News and Ratopati present the operation through its central enforcement results: action against 898 motorcycles and action involving riders or other people. Both accounts describe a campaign aimed at loud, modified motorcycles and disruption on the roads. They do not provide further details on the police procedures used, the fate of the motorcycles after action was taken, or whether the operation will continue.
By concentrating on noise, vehicle appearance and conduct that could disturb public peace, Operation 365 addressed several concerns associated with motorcycle use in Kaski. The reported totals offer a measure of the action taken during the year, while the differing counts for people and the absence of case-by-case details leave the full breakdown of enforcement unclear.
