Kathmandu Faces Garbage Crisis During Festivals

Kathmandu. During the major festivals of Dashain and Tihar, a large amount of garbage accumulates in the Kathmandu Valley. However, at the time when the city needs cleanliness the most, the garbage management work has come to a standstill.

This year, garbage was not collected in Kathmandu for 3 days during Dashain and will not be collected for 2 days during Tihar. Citizens have been complaining about the city becoming smelly due to uncollected garbage during times of high waste generation.
