Kathmandu road infrastructures bear the brunt of protestors’ wrath. Do you think it’s okay?

On Sunday, when the government tabled the controversial Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact (MCC deal) signed with the United States government in 2017 in the House of Representatives, the Naya Baneshwar area in Kathmandu turned into a battlefield. During clashes between protesters demonstrating against the US government’s MCC deal and the police, the crowd has spared no efforts to vandalise road infrastructures such as pedestrian pavements, green strips and railings. Consequently, returning to the place on the next day, the scene was enough to have an idea of loss and damage.

Even after the Kathmandu metropolitan city cleaned up the road, pieces of stones, bricks and concrete, broken sticks and green twigs of trees and plants could be seen along the roadside.
