Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) Tuesday decided to dump the garbage collected from the capital at Sundarighat in Kirtipur after the obstruction of the local residents of Okharpouwa landfill site. According to KMC's Chief Executive Officer, Dinesh Thapaliya, a decision on the garbage management at Sundarighat will be taken by this evening and the garbage will be collected from tomorrow. KMC informed that Sundarighat can be used as landfill for another three years. Sundarighat has been proposed as alternative since the locals of the Okharpouwa landfill site had blocked the KMC's 18 vehicles loaded with garbage at Kagati village yesterday. The locals have demanded the implementation of the past agreements forged with the KMC.
