Gagan Thapa urges PM to hold dialogue with Balen Shah

Nepali Congress (NC) General Secretary and House of Representatives (HoR) member from Kathmandu-4 Gagan Thapa has urged Prime Minister (PM) Pushpa Kamal Dahal to hold dialogue with Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) Balen Shah on the issue of stopping collection of garbage from the Singha Durbar.

Taking to Facebook a day after he unilaterally stopped collection of garbage from the Singha Durbar, Shah on Monday blamed the federal government for lack of coordination with the local government despite his continuous efforts for nine months. “The conclusion until now of the disregard, irresponsibility and negligence toward the repeated efforts made is the decision to not collect garbage from the Singha Durbar,” Shah posted.
