KMC removes unauthorised pharmacies at Bir Hospital

The action inconveniences patients and the city should have waited until the dengue crisis is over, hospital chief says.

A month since the Kathmandu Metropolitan City kicked off its drive to demolish illegal structures in the city, it has been relentless in its pursuit. On Thursday, which marked the drive’s 30th day, the city’s excavator reached Bir Hospital, at Kantipath, and vacated half-a-dozen pharmacies on the northern side of the hospital.
