Collection of garbage was resumed from today after Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Federal Affairs and Local Development, Prakashman Singh, on Sunday, directed the officials at the Ministry and office-bearers of the KMC and Lalitpur Sub-Metropolis to resolve the problem immediately, said Executive Chief of the KMC, Purna Bhakta Tandukar.

The garbage generated in the Kathmandu valley was not collected as irate locals of Nuwakot district torched a vehicle belonging to KMC, carrying garbage, on Friday after a child who was hit by a garbage-laden vehicle of private entrepreneur died.

Different employees organisations agreed to collect the garbage after the leadership was ready to address the demand of security of KMC employees and was positive to bring more equipment to carry garbage.

A total of 550 tonnes of garbage is piled in Kathmandu and 250 tonnes in Lalitpur daily. RSS
