KATHMANDU: Police apprehended 13 individuals from Banchare Danda for impeding waste disposal efforts in the area.

According to Kathmandu Police spokesperson SSP Navaraj Adhikari, locals halted the vehicles transporting waste from Kathmandu to Banchare Danda this morning, leading to the arrests.

Upon receiving reports of the waste disposal obstruction in Banchare Danda, a police team from Balaju and Kathmandu Metropolitan Police promptly responded to the scene.

The arrested individuals are currently held in custody at the Balaju Police Circle.

Decisions regarding their further legal proceedings will be made today.

Approximately 40 tipper trucks carrying waste have arrived at Banchare Danda.

Residents of Nuwakot and Dhading had announced plans to disrupt waste disposal activities starting today, following prior announcements regarding waste management measures.

Rambhakta Dhungana, coordinator of the Banchare Danda Landfill Site Affected Area Management Committee, attributed the local protest to the government’s failure to address demands voiced during an all-party meeting, including those submitted to the Prime Minister last March.
