Chief of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City Vidya Sundar Shakya has said that the campaign to make Kathmandu dust-free will be materialized as soon as the Melamchi Drinking Water Project is completed. This was stated by Shakya after signing a memorandum of understanding for the establishment of inter-local level sisterhood relationship between Kathmandu Metropolitan City and Melamchi Municipality.
Shakya also claimed that a lot of budget of Kathmandu metropolis has been spent on digging and filling roads as the Melamchi drinking water expansion project has not been completed. "If the drinking water project and road expansion work is completed soon, the roads here can be made dust-free," said Chief Shakya.
The MoU was signed by Kathmandu Metropolitan Chief Vidya Sundar Shakya and Melamchi Municipality Chief Dambar Bahadur Aryal. ‘Kathmanduites have been hoping for Melamchi water for a long time. "Everyone in Kathmandu knows the name of Melamchi," said Chief Shakya.
‘An inter-local sister relationship has been established between Kathmandu Metropolitan City and Melamchi Municipality. We also expect further efforts to strengthen the institutional system through mutual coordination, cooperation and partnership between the two cities, and through joint efforts,” he said.
He reminded that he has already partnered with Thimi Municipality. The Kathmandu Metropolitan City has already established sister relations with six companies in China (Lhasa, Xi'an, Shenzhen, Lanzhou, Chengdu and Nanjing) and four in the United States (Eugene, Rochester, Friedrichberg and Wolder).
