Janakpurdham Faces Waste Management Crisis Due to Lack of Permanent Dumping Site

Janakpurdham. The garbage visible at every intersection in Janakpurdham, the capital of Madhesh Province, has affected the city's beauty. Garbage strewn haphazardly from main roads to inner streets is forcing domestic and foreign tourists to shorten their stays rather than extend them.

Janakpurdham Sub-Metropolitan City, which has the main responsibility for waste management, has not yet been able to construct a permanent dumping site for a long-term solution. Although nine years have passed since the local level elections, a dumping site has not been built, and the sub-metropolitan city has been managing waste by renting land.
