Nov 02, Kathmandu - The obstruction that had been preventing the disposal of Kathmandu Valley's waste at the Bancharedanda landfill site for the past five days has been removed. After the obstruction was removed, vehicles stranded on the road and loaded with waste in Kathmandu have headed towards the landfill site.

The obstruction was lifted after Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Physical Infrastructure and Transport and Urban Development Kulman Ghising pledged to meet the demands of the locals at the Bancharedanda landfill site.

After locals obstructed waste disposal, a team including Minister Ghising, Urban Development Secretary Gopal Sigdel, the Chief District Officers of Kathmandu, Nuwakot and Dhading, and the Executive Officer of Kathmandu Metropolitan City went to the Bancharedanda landfill site on Sunday morning to resolve the problem.
