Valley garbage problem continues

Kathmandu appears all set to reel under the perennial garbage problem for some time more as the Sisdole locals near the Okharpauwa Landfill Site in Nuwakot continue to obstruct garbage trucks of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) from dumping the city's wastage there. Due to the obstruction from last Friday, heaps of garbage has started to literally cover the pavements, causing serious eyesore to the city's residents and possible health hazards. Kathmanduites are already thronging to the hospital with diarrhea, jaundice, typhoid and other complaints.
