15 garbage carrying vehicles vandalized in Banchare Danda

Locals have vandalized the garbage carrying vehicles at Banchare Danda in Kakani Rural Municipality-2, Nuwakot on Wednesday.

It has been learnt that the locals vandalized the vehicles from the Kathmandu Valley while trying to unload the trash with the help of police. Police said that 15 vehicles were vandalized this morning.

Police also fired tear gas shells to take the situation under control. Three police personnel were injured when locals pelted stones at them.

Though the government, metropolis and local representatives had reached an agreement on dumping the garbage two days ago, enraged locals who were unaware about the agreement, however, said that they would not allow the garbage of Kathmandu to dump in Banchare Danda until their demands are met.
