Waste Disposal Begins

Much to the respite of the residents of the Kathmandu Valley, garbage from the capital and its adjoining cities has been collected and ferried to the landfills at Sisdole and Bancharedanda in Nuwakot district since Tuesday. The garbage has been heaped and littered at the corners of the cities for weeks after the locals from the dumping sites obstructed the trucks carrying it. Although the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) managed to collect and transport the trash to the dumping sites, the local people have protested the movements of waste-loaded vehicles, rejecting the agreement reached between the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and people’s representatives of the Kathmandu Valley and Sisdole and Bancharedanda Monday night. The police had to resort to force to control the mob of the protestors in order to allow the garbage-carrying vehicles to reach the landfill sites. The locals’ continued objection to the dumping of the waste generated in cities shows the gravity of the problem that has continued for years.
