KATHMANDU, SEP 01 -
Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal on Tuesday directed the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) chief to end the garbage row immediately. KMC Chief Ananda Raj Pokhrel was summoned on Tuesday by the prime minister after the garbage row surfaced a week ago. “The prime minister expressed his concern over the halt in garbage disposal,” said Pokhrel, adding that the prime minister ordered him to find a long-term solution to the problem. The prime minister also asked the KMC chief to identify new dumping sites, in addition to sorting out the managerial issues related to garbage collection and disposal.
Meanwhile, the government is considering use of force for garbage disposal if the disruption continues. “We will do everything in our power to resume garbage disposal on Wednesday,” said Pokhrel.
A meeting of government bodies scheduled for Wednesday morning will take a final decision on the issue.
