After Triyuga Municipality-12 Bisanpur area residents did not allow garbage to fall in the dumping site, garbage stopped being picked up from Gaighat market. The Gaighat market has become smelly after the municipality agreed to dump waste in Bisanpur only till Baisakh and to manage it elsewhere from May.

After the locals repeatedly blocked the municipal vehicles going to Bisanpur to dump garbage, the municipality dumped garbage in Chappan forest located in Triyuga municipality-14 for a few days. After the local and community forests there decided not to throw garbage in the forest area, garbage has not been picked up from the Gaighat market for 4 days. 

Kisan Rai of Triyuga Municipality-11 Gaighat said that the residents of Gaighat had to face problems because the municipality could not build a dumping site at a proper place for waste management. "There are heaps of garbage everywhere on the market side of the road, because of the stench, one cannot walk in the market, one cannot go out for a morning walk in the morning," he said.

Mayor Basant Kumar Basnet of Triyuga Municipality said that Triyuga-13 Phuljhor and ward no. He said that the garbage problem will be resolved soon as research is being done to build a new dumping site in the Lalpatta forest of 6. He said that for the dumping site, a place far away from the human settlement is required, so work is being done to find a suitable place.

'We have to eat with our nose blocked due to the smell of garbage, we cannot sleep at night, it is also uncomfortable to work in the fields during the day,' said Prathamalal Choudhary of Khajanpur, 'We have asked the mayor to manage the dumping site many times, but the problem has not been resolved.' Locals say that there is a high risk of disease transmission as crows and other birds carry the garbage thrown at the dumping site.

Similarly, students of Baruwa campus said that the sewage coming out of Gaighat market was being mixed with Triyuga river, so the pollution has increased. "The sewer line has been taken from the front of the campus to the Triyuga river, the stench of the sewage can linger in the classroom," Aneraswaviyu Baruwa Campus Committee Secretary Abhishek Thapamgar said.
