Kathmandu. In recent days, it has become a major challenge to protect the rivers and streams in Kathmandu, the federal capital of the country.

Although the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) leadership Balendra Shah (Balen) has shown urgency in the conservation of rivers and streams, the expected results are yet to come.

KMC has been carrying out cleaning and conservation campaigns in the rivers and streams of Kathmandu from time to time. But the sewage in the river and the stench it spreads are far from being clean, let alone the rivers and streams? This question has also been pushed back for years.

Dhobikhola is one of the 13 major rivers and streams in Kathmandu. However, various organizations along with the metropolis have already launched the Dhobi Khola cleaning campaign from time to time. However, due to the sewage being dumped into the river in a haphazard manner, the rivers are becoming more and more dirty and foul-smelling day by day. See the rest of the image:
