Mayor’s second visit to Sisdole does little to placate disgruntled people

Garbage has been piling up on Kathmandu’s streets, alleys and open spaces for over a month now. During this period, Kathmandu elected a new mayor, Balendra Shah, who has listed waste management as one of his commitments in his 28-topic manifesto.
