The Kathmandu Metropolitan City is making preparations to clear the basement of New Road-based Suraj Arcade. A team of the KMC has reached the Suraj Arcade for the same. The Metropolitan City team reached there after Mayor Balen Shah directed the officials to clear the basement of the Suraj Arcade and to demolish the structures built illegally around the shopping center.

The KMC swung into action after the Suraj Arcade management ignored a 35-day notice of the Metropolitan City to clear the underground parking area.

The parking on the street has caused chaos in the area after the Suraj Arcade does not allow parking in the basement. Earlier on Sunday, the KMC dismantled the structures constructed above the subway in Ratnapark.
