The government and the locals of Bancharedanda have reached an 11-point agreement. The discussions between the government and the locals of Bancharedanda held at Singha Durbar on Thursday concluded with an 11-point agreement.
The agreement between the government and the locals includes an immediate decision and correspondence with the local people regarding the cases that were filed in the past, a written commitment to prepare the EIA report and a written commitment to write to the consultant company to prepare the EIA report quickly, and an agreement to allocate the necessary budget for land acquisition as per the EIA report in the upcoming fiscal year budget.
Similarly, an agreement has been reached to write to the Kathmandu Metropolitan City to immediately provide compensation for the houses, huts and crops of the fiscal year 2082/83 for the locals of Banchare Danda. The metropolis has also decided to provide compensation for the houses, huts and crops at the current price to the most affected locals of Banchare within 1 month, based on the area previously affected by Sisdol.
It has been agreed that the work will be stopped immediately and those responsible for the work will be brought to justice and a long-term solution will be adopted by preparing a team of experts within 15 days for proper management of the leachate and conducting a field inspection.
Similarly, it has been agreed that the local residents of the most affected areas of Banchare and Sisdol will be provided with a special card or any other means to receive free treatment for any disease at any government hospital within the Kathmandu Metropolitan City within the next month, and that a mandatory quota will be provided in schools and colleges within the Kathmandu Valley within the next month regarding education.
It has been agreed that the affected people of the Banchare landfill site will be presented as an agenda in the meeting called by the Mayors Forum or the Ministry for employment opportunities in the municipalities emitting waste.
It has also been agreed to increase the amount of Rs 30 million that the metropolis has been giving to 2 municipalities to Rs 60 million.
It has also been agreed to request the metropolis to include Belkotgadhi Municipality in the upcoming fiscal year and to request the Ministry of Urban Development to make mandatory contributions from other municipalities that emit waste.
It has been agreed to prepare a procedure to provide immediate relief to the families of those who have died of various diseases due to the waste of Sisdol and Kudu Banchare Danda, to immediately remove and start the obstacles in the transportation and disposal of waste by the locals, and to take forward the necessary process to make the construction of the Tinpiple-Kumari Galchhi road multi-year in the current fiscal year. The locals of Banchare Danda have been agitating repeatedly, saying that the government has ignored their demands.
15 days ago, Urban Development Minister Kulman Ghising visited the Kathmandu Valley's waste disposal center, Banchare Danda, and assured that the demands of the locals would be resolved. But when the problem was not resolved, the locals protested again and stopped the collection of Kathmandu's waste.
