Even the residents of Dhunibesi Municipality Ward No. 1 of Dhading, which is located at the Land field site, did not stop the garbage-carrying vehicles today.
Ward Chairman Man Bahadur Tamang informed that since the Metropolitan Corporation has promised to fulfill the demand within a week, they will not make any obstacles until this period. According to the agreement, the metropolis will bear the medical expenses of those who were injured during the protest at the landfill site, while one person who was arrested will also have to be released.
