Barcelona returned to the top of LaLiga with a straightforward 3-0 victory over relegation-threatened Levante on Sunday as Marc Bernal, Frenkie De Jong and substitute Fermin Lopez struck at Camp Nou, Reuters reported. 

Last season's champions moved to 61 points from 25 games, one ahead of Real Madrid after their rivals' defeat by Osasuna on Saturday.

Barca had slipped to second following last week's 2-1 loss to Girona but on Sunday they ensured Real's setback did not go to waste and rarely looked troubled by a Levante side second from bottom on 18 points, according to Reuters. 

Atalanta's Lazar Samardzic scored a late winner as they fought back to beat third-placed visitors Napoli 2-1 on Sunday, extending their unbeaten Serie A run to nine games, Reuters reported. 

Napoli's first loss in their last five league games at Atalanta left them 14 points adrift of leaders Inter Milan, while their opponents are seventh and two points behind fourth-placed Roma, who host lowly Cremonese in the late game.

Mario Pasalic almost gave Atalanta the lead after three minutes but his header missed the near post shortly before Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic cleared Raoul Bellanova's dangerous pass near the goal, according to Reuters. 

Byas Municipality in Tanahun has generated income Rs 1.4 million from the sale of waste products in the first seven months of the current fiscal year. 

During the period from mid-July 2025 to mid-February 2026, the municipality earned Rs 1,450,611 from the sale of recycled waste products. 

Chief Administrative Officer Sukadev Lamsal informed that the municipality earned the income from the sale of garbage and glass items. 

Facing the challenge of waste management, the municipality has started collecting segregated waste from households. 

Lamsal explained that biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste is collected separately, and income is generated by selling sellable waste. 

He said, 'Collecting all waste in one place causes problems, so biodegradables are collected in a separate vehicle and non-biodegradable in another.' 

Lamsal mentioned that selling waste has helped the municipality increase its internal resources. 

Byas Municipality Mayor Baikuntha Neupane said they have been segregating biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste from the very beginning of collection, and even within non-biodegradable waste, different items like glass, plastic, and paper are being separated and compressed with the use of machines. 

The municipality has educated families, wards and school leaderships within the municipality on waste segregation methods. 

The municipality is selling non-biodegradable waste such as paper, glass, and plastic collected from its office premises.
