Street food in Kathmandu: To allow or not to allow is the question

Street food found in the alleys and streets of Kathmandu is popular among locals and others alike. Many people prefer having it every day. They consider it as the beauty of the city while there are also those who take it as a disturbance during commuting, hence are demanding its removal from the busy streets.

Between these two sides, the demand for the removal of street food stalls is growing up in Kathmandu in the wake of the recent cholera spread . But, stakeholders say the unplanned removal of food stalls should be stopped, rather the local governments should come up with a concrete plan to manage them.
