The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has made public a list of 71 works that it aims to carry out immediately.

Making the list public amidst a program on Monday, KMC’s Chief Administrative Officer Basanta Adhikari urged the departmental chiefs concerned not to delay the works on any pretext.

Installation of high-mast lights, operation of digital services, vehicle parking management on office premises and the city area and the operation of a health promotion center feature in the to-do list.  

Sterilization of stray dogs, development of monitoring indicators (infrastructure, ward level, department, project and program level, public procurement process), implementation of decisions of the KMC’s Executive Meeting, status of implementation of Acts, formulation of work procedures and projects of metropolitan pride and glory are also on the list.

The plan also entails installation of glass bars on pedestrian overhead bridges, regular repair and maintenance of structures like pavements, transport management and construction of public toilets. 

Construction of a breast-feeding room at the KMC office in Kathmandu Plaza also features in the list.

The KMC had provided a prototype of the public toilet to all the KMC wards last week and instructed them to construct public toilets as per the need. 

However, the metropolis’ pledge over the years to construct toilets at public places has largely remained a pledge. 

KMC has earmarked Rs 7.34bn for these works.
