Nepali Congress general secretary Bishwo Prakash Sharma on Friday said that it was shame to be unable to collect the garbage piled up in Kathmandu even though three tiers of government are in the country.
Unveiling a book Kamaredko Janai here, Sharma said that the streets of Kathmandu were full of garbage and it was a shame that the three tiers of governments have failed to manage it.
He underlined the need for ending the shameful situation immediately. Sharma asked all political parties to have a common idea for the long-term solution to the garbage problem.
The NC general secretary said that everyone should support Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City Balen Shah to manage the city waste, and the government should address the demands put forth by locals of Banchare Danda landfill.
“Rulers have changed. We have adopted republican system by ending the monarchical rule. One reaches to another party from a party to reach power. They become independent by quitting party. But it is shame that the garbage of Kathmandu is not collected twice a day even when we have three tires of government,” he said.
The ruling party general secretary said the Federal, Provincial and Local governments should be responsible for the management of the garbage problem.
