Teku residents launch protest against huge garbage buildup at waste transfer station

Garbage transport to Sisdole landfill remains halted for weeks after protests by Nuwakot locals.

On Sunday, residents of the Teku area, which is in Ward 12 of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, padlocked the waste transfer station after piles of garbage collected from households in the metropolitan city and brought to the station were not disposed of for several days.
