KATHMANDU, June 10: Minister for Urban Development Ram Kumari Jhankri has said that small management centers should be identified as an alternative to large landfill sites for the waste management in Kathmandu Valley.


Speaking during a discussion with the locals of Banchare Danda at the Ministry of Urban Development on Friday, Minister Jhakri said that it would take time to build big landfill sites which does not seem possible in the present scenario. She said that small waste and sewage management centers should be established as an alternative.
