Residents of Okharpauwa in Nuwakot district Sunday obstructed dumping of garbage at the landfill site in the west-north of the capital. The locals picketed around 18 trucks heading from the capital carrying waste at Kauti VDC, Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) said. KMC began to pick up the wastes--accumulated for the last one week--from today after the heaps of garbage started to give off awful smell in the city.
