Locals in Nuwakot and Dhading stop garbage trucks over ‘broken promises’

Locals and elected representatives from Nuwakot’s Kakani Rural Municipality have once again started obstructing garbage trucks from reaching the Banchare Danda landfill accusing the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) and the Ministry of Urban Development of breaking their development commitments.

After a similar obstruction by the locals last year, the City, the ministry and the locals had signed an agreement where the authorities had made several promises to address the locals’ concerns.

“None of the promises made in the agreement last year has been fulfilled,” said Mitthu Maya Tamang, vice chair of the Kakani Rural Municipality. “All they have done is blacktop a five-kilometre section of the road from Tinpiple to Banchare Danda.”
