KMC to discuss squatter problem with government agencies and stakeholders

Municipal police has charged 18 people from Thapathali squatter settlement with assault after staff injuries Monday.

The Kathmandu Metropolitan City, which on Monday tried to forcefully evict squatters from their settlement on the banks of the Bagmati river in Thapathali, has since softened on its approach. The city office has said that it would now be consulting with other government agencies for a solution.
