Terai’s waste management problem is growing bigger than that of Kathmandu

For the past few weeks, residents of the Kathmandu valley have been complaining about waste piling up on the roads as the city frequently faces hurdles in waste management here. You might think that Nepal’s capital is such an irony where the country overall is beautiful. But, no! Major cities across Nepal have been facing waste management problems for a long time. This problem is even bigger in Terai, the southern belt of Nepal bordering India.

The responsibility of waste management has been given to the local governments. But, almost all local governments have not been able to manage waste resulting in stinking cities in most parts of Nepal. In Terai, even villages in rural municipalities are facing this issue.
