Kathmandu’s pedestrian peril: Hazardous footpaths pose risks



KATHMANDU: Planning to stroll through Bhotahiti to Asan for shopping?

You might want to reconsider. Thanks to ongoing sewerage and underground electrification projects, many footpaths in Kathmandu Valley have turned into hazardous zones.

Dillibazar and Ghattekulo are among the areas currently grappling with these safety concerns.
