Currently Jaimini Municipality has dumped garbage along the road leading from the municipal center to Jaimini Dham. Theulekhola has become polluted with this garbage. When the waste flows, it will also affect Kaligandaki.
It has been many years since the municipality faced challenges in waste management after not getting land. Locals complained that when the under-construction Kushmisera Jaminidham road was widened, the garbage started affecting the people traveling on the road.
Currently the road from Jaimini Dham to Kushmisera is under construction. While making the road wide and level, the garbage dump has also been destroyed. Now more challenges have been added to the municipality in waste management. When widening the road, there is a danger that all the waste will go into the river.
City chief Nar Bahadur Pun said that although initiatives are being taken to manage waste, there is laxity in management. "We have looked at the land, it is a safe place, but it was difficult to pass it in the name of the city," Pun said, "we are also taking a road on the said land." It is late to throw the garbage when the formalities are pending. "We have found a place where the stench of garbage does not come immediately, and we do not have to throw it in the river or the road, it is yet to be formalized," said Pun, adding that 4 acres of land has been managed for at least 30 years. Pun said that since the land is small, more searches are being conducted.
Although the municipality has been searching for land for waste management and industrial village for three years, it was not enough. "We have started to manage the land with the dream of building waste management and industrial village, but there was a challenge in the management of the land," Deputy Chief Harihar Sharma said, "We were unable to spend even if we didn't get a lump sum of land." Yes .
Kushmisera is located in a small valley. An administrative building is being built on the land given by the locals. Due to the contractor's negligence, only 50 percent of the building was completed when the deadline expired last January. After finding land for other projects, the municipal executive got a headache.
Mayor Pun said that the land has become an obstacle even in the construction of Nepal Electricity Authority's substation, police station and other works in Jaimini. It is a small place, no one gives land, even if you want to buy it, it is difficult to get it, the process is also long . That's why most of our plans have been affected' Pun said, 'Even when we reach Pakho area, they say that it is the government budget.'
