Mayor Balen thanks RPP for cleaning up after protest



KATHMANDU: Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balendra Shah (Balen) has thanked the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) for cleaning up after their protest rally on Tuesday.

During the protest, RPP Chair Rajendra Lingden not only urged party members to avoid littering but also remarked that they were ready for any fines the city might impose.

In response, Mayor Balen wrote on social media that the city’s intent is not to fine people but to ensure that no individual, group, or event litters public spaces.

“The city doesn’t exist to fine people for littering,” Balen wrote. “We want public spaces to remain clean, regardless of who is using them. Thank you to RPP for cleaning up after your event today.”
