Activists criticise City for covering Lainchaur ground with artificial turf

Kathmandu metropolis has tasked Ncell with developing a ‘park’ on the ground spread over 0.45 hectares from Dairy Development Corporation to Shanti Vidyagriha Secondary School.

Seventy-five years old Bhim Kumari Khatri of Sorhakhutte still remembers going to Lainchaur ground and soaking in the sun during the winter in her childhood days. She along with her family members and neighbours would spend most of their winter days on the ground chatting and playing.
