Newly elected KMC Mayor Bidhya Sundar Shakya has urged all to support the sanitation campaign in the metropolis.

At a programme organised by the Solid Waste Management Technical Support Centre on the occasion of the World Environment Day on Sunday, Shakya said that as the single effort for environment protection was not enough everyone should lend their hands for the cause.

Similarly, Deputy Mayor Hari Prabha Khadgi said that lessening dust-borne diseases was the main challenge in Kathmandu.

Executive Director at the centre Bishwa Mani Gyawali called on the concerned authorities to initiate stringent action against those who throw waste arbitrarily. (RSS)
