Valley’s deputy mayors form network for coordination

Urban planners fear the new platform might end like Valley mayors’ forum that failed to do anything significant.

In a bid to introduce integrated planning and parallel work procedures, a ‘network’ of deputy mayors in Kathmandu Valley was formed on Tuesday. Urban planners welcome the drive but are doubtful if that really works as the Kathmandu Valley Mayors’ Forum formed under former mayor Bidya Sundar Shakya was ineffective.
