Heaps of stinking garbage has remained uncollected for over a week in the capital, raising danger of possible outbreak of different kinds of diseases and creating serious eye sore for the people living in the valley.

Huge piles of uncollected garbage can be seen at the major thoroughfares in Kathmandu and Lalitpur, the two major cities in the valley.

Pedestrians have a hard time even walking in the pavements as the stinking garbage cover the entire walking area and sometime even flow into the middle of the road to cause serious traffic snarls.

More and more people are wearing masks not only to save themselves from the dust and smog, but also to spare themselves the foul smell emanating from the garbage.

The valley's perennial garbage problem refuses to die down as trends since the last two years has shown that it recurs in every 4 or 5 months.

This time a previously unheard Sisdole Waste Management Concern Committee has barred garbage trucks of Kathmandu Metropolitcan Corporation (KMC) and Lalitpur Sub-metropolitan City from transporting the thousands of tons of wastage the valleys produces to the only landfill site in Sisdole for more than a week now.

The Committee, which is formed by locals of Sisdole, is again holding talks with KMC officials Thursday for the implementation of past agreements which includes construction of better roads, schools and hospitals in the areas surrounding the landfill site.

They say that they would not back down this time until they are sure that all their demands will be fulfilled.

Meanwhile, the government is planning to transport the city's waste to Sisdole landfill site by mobilising the police force. nepalnews.com

T Tulachan  - Garbbage, water and electricity   |194.106.220.xxx |2009-07-30 12:23:53 Respective departments, key persons, government and its departments. Some times I feel very shameful because we are unable to collect our rubbish, clean streets where as almost all household owners they collect money from every flat occupants then organise rubbish. We need water, electricity these are on high demand and nepal is a second largest water resourceful country but government and its ministers can not supply water and electricity to its people. If they are unable to collect rubbish, clean streets and supply water and electricity they should leave the posts on moral ground. Please let your posts to capable persons. It is good for Nepal and all nepalese people Because of the above abilities we nepalese who live in abroad feel uneasy to see on local peoples' face directly.
