Why waste obstruction at Bancharedanda recurs and what the new deal means

Several unfulfilled promises, and a pending vandalism case against locals triggered the latest blockade, which has ended for now with an 11-point deal.

Garbage collection in Kathmandu Valley and parts of Kavrepalanchok district has resumed after authorities signed an 11-point agreement on Thursday evening with locals of Nuwakot and Dhading districts who had been blocking access to the Bancharedanda landfill.
