Kathmandu, Nov 11 (RSS): The Kathmandu Metropolitan City is to request the government for the construction of a temporary landfill site.
Joint Spokesperson of the KMC Nabaraj Dhakal said that the KMC would make such request to the government as next landfill site should be explored immediately in place of Nuwakot-based Sisdole. The Sisdole landfill site has the space to store the garbage only for six month. The garbage of Kathmandu Valley is being stored there since 13 years.
The KMC took the decision to this effect after a meeting of the Mayors of 18 municipalities of Kathmandu Valley that held on last Friday drew the conclusion of constructing a temporary landfill site.
In 2006 AD, the government had purchased 1,700 ropanis of land at Bancharedanda which lies some two kilometres away from the Sisdole landfill site for the construction of permanent landfill site.
According to the KMC, a temporary landfill site has been necessary for the time being as different process related to the construction of landfill site at Bancharedanda has not been forwarded.
Out of 18 municipalities in the Kathmandu Valley, wastes emanating from 12 municipalities are being managed at Sisdole landfill site. A total of 800 metric tonnes of garbage of Kathmandu Valley is taken to Sisdole landfill site every day.
