Conservationists are not so keen about Kamal Pokhari restoration project

Kathmandu Metropolitan City is developing the centuries-old pond as a recreation centre complete with small artificial ponds at four corners and a fountain at the centre.

As Rajendra Singh takes a walk around Kamal Pokhari, where restoration of the pond is underway, he looks content. Singh believes in a few years time Kamal Pokhari’s face will be changed—it will be a place for people to enjoy leisure time in the heart of Kathmandu.
