“We have received a copy of the interim order issued by the honorable court to remove garbage from Singha Durbar and Sheetal Niwas. We will abide by the order,” he said.
Mayor Shah said that the federal government should also follow the order of the Supreme Court. “We are committed to comply with the order of the apex court. But, not only the metropolis, the federal government among others should also adhere the verdicts, orders and directives of the honorable court seriously,” he said. It has been more than two weeks that the garbage of Singha Durbar, the country’s administrative hub, has not been collected following the directive of Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Shah. The metropolis had been saying that the garbage would not be collected unless the government showed readiness to hold talks. Mayor Shah said that the decision to not collect garbage from Singha Durbar was an outcome of neglect, lack of responsibility and carelessness on part of the federal government. Earlier on Monday, a writ was filed at the Supreme Court against the decision of Mayor Shah not to collect waste of Singha Durbar, Baluwatar and Sheetal Niwas.
