He has also promised not to repeat the plight of Sisdol in Banchare Danda. He wrote, “We also want to assure you that we will not repeat Sisdol's tragedy under any circumstances. We are forced to adopt the current management method only because it is practically difficult to go to other options without managing the accumulated wastes.”
Garbage in Kathmandu was not picked up for a few days after an unknown group vandalized a garbage truck and a dozer in Banchare Danda.
