TOURISM YEAR2011 VS GARBAGE PROBLEM

Nepal is celebrating the year 2011 as a tourism year. With lots of dream to promote the natural beauties along with its historical and cultural aspect, it is in its full gear to start the year 2011 with a big bang. As per plan for the year 2011, different infrastructures are being made and different cultural and historical places are being renovated so that the whole world can get a better glimpse of the real Nepal.
However, the garbage problem has hit the capital of Nepal. The outskirts of the capital are beautiful and can give you a sense that you are getting a full return of what you have spend here. But the capital is getting dirty day by day. With number of vehicles rising daily, the atmosphere is getting polluted. And now the locals of the landfill site where the garbages of the capital are dumped is stopping the garbage disposal. They have put their demand forward to the concerned authority but no consensus has been still met. As a result loads of garbage could be seen dumped by the roadside in every corner of the capital, which is turning the capital city into a city of garbage.
The first point where the international visitors put their feet in this country is Tribhuvan International Airport which is located in the capital city, Kathmandu. If the capital is facing garbage problem then the visitors won't have a positive feeling about their visiting their country. So the government and the concerned authorities and the locals should reach at a consensus as soon as possible. The result of which will be overwhelming for the country economically and hygienically.
