Kathmandu, Nepal, April 11, 2023: The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has stopped to collect garbage from the premises of Singha Durbar, the central secretariat of Nepal government, from Sunday.
Balendra Shah, mayor of KMC, has announced that the garbage of Singha Durbar would not be picked up. Posting a status on social media, he has announced that the metropolis will no longer pick up the garbage of Singha Durbar.
Posting an extensive status on Monday, Mayor Shah has given 14 examples of non-coordination and non-cooperation by Singha Durbar explain that why he had ordered KMC employees not to collect garbage from the premises of Singha Durbar.
‘The decision not to collect the waste from the Singha Durbar was not made haphazardly, but due to the continuous neglect of the Nepal government,’ Mayor Shah has stated ‘irresponsibility and carelessness of the government that forced us to take this decision.’
He has mentioned the names of different 14 ministries claiming that past commitments as well as duties of the concerned ministers were not fulfilled by the concerned ministers.
Meanwhile, House of Representatives (HoR) member Gagan Kumar Thapa has raised the concerns over the decision of the KMC not to collect garbage from the Singh Durbar.

Dialogue should be initiated immediately with the KMC for the decision of not collecting garbage from Singha Durbar, Thapa said even demanding the fulfillment of justified demands raised by the KMC.
