WATER TREATMENT CENTER FOR CLEANLINESS IN BAGMATI RIVER

Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said a water treatment centre has been developed in the upper belt of the Bagmati River to ensure cleanliness in the river that flows through the Pashupati area.
Likewise, Minister for Drinking Water Umakant Chaudhary said the government would move ahead by giving priority to the task of water treatment and the government’s sole focus so far is on providing drinking water to the citizens.
Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balendra Shah opined that the rivers like Bagmati were polluted due to the dumping of sewage in the rivers directly. Stating that the concerned authorities should separate rainwater and sewage water, Shah shared that the KMC would launch an awareness drive for the same. He informed that talks were held with the Minister for Water Supply on collaborating with the concerned Ministry to revive traditional spouts, hit in the Kathmandu Valley.
