Garbage heaps threaten public health
As the capital's streets get littered with garbage due to failure of Kathmandu Metropolitan City's (KMC) efforts to dump it, doctors on Monday warned this could result in outbreak of various diseases among residents of the capital. With the arrival of monsoon, street corners heaped with garbage pose health hazard, said Dr Laxmi Bahadur Thapa, Director of Epidemiology and Disease Control Division.
