Bharatpur’s plan to construct modern landfill site fails to take off

Three-and-a-half years and seven municipal meetings later, the main market areas of Narayangadh and Bharatpur are far from being garbage free.

During the first municipal meeting of Bharatpur Metropolitan City in January 2018, the newly elected mayor Renu Dahal had announced that the city would construct a modern landfill site to manage solid waste. In her policy and programme, the mayor had proposed building a landfill site on 15 bighas of land belonging to Jaldevi forest in Ward No 2.
