Waste piles up in Kathmandu as Nuwakot locals obstruct disposal

Garbage collection has been halted in Kathmandu Valley for more than a week now, creating heaps of garbage on the streets of the city and foul smell in the air. Major streets of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) and Lalitpur are now littered with piles of garbage dumped by households, shops, hotels, businesses and offices. Locals along the Pasang Lhamu Highway, the road leading to Sisdole landfill site, have been obstructing garbage disposal for the last one week, putting forth demand to upgrade the highway. It’s been more than a week since the door-to-door garbage collection facility of the valley remains obstructed in the areas like Patan, Bhaisipati, Kalimati, Baneshwor, Lazimpat, Gaushala, Kamapokhari, Ratopul, among others.
