Pokhara Metropolitan City has directed the removal of the Kawadi collection centers and workshops operating along the city's main highways and main roads within 35 days.
The metropolis issued a public notice on Monday, giving an ultimatum to relocate such businesses that are obstructing urban beautification and traffic management.
The metropolis has issued the notice targeting such businesses operating on the road sections from Kotre to Setipul of the Prithvi Highway, from Chhorepatan to Prithvi Chowk of the Siddhartha Highway, and from Jirokimi to Phedi of the Pokhara-Baglung Highway. The metropolis believes that the shutters and vacant land in those areas have caused difficulties in vehicle movement and have adversely affected environmental cleanliness.
‘These businesses operating on the main road have disrupted the urban beauty and have also increased the risk of accidents,’ the notice issued by the metropolis states. ‘If these businesses are not managed elsewhere within 35 days of the publication of the notice, action will be taken as per the prevailing law.’
The metropolis has also warned hardware shops and depots located on the road not to place construction materials and signboards on the road. The metropolis has taken this step after complaints were received that the materials encroaching on the road were causing inconvenience to pedestrians.
The metropolis has also requested homeowners, local businessmen, civil society and local administration to cooperate and facilitate the implementation of this decision. The metropolis has warned that strict legal action will be taken against businessmen who do not comply with the instructions within the specified time limit.
