The locals blocked around 300 vehicles on the second day as well, saying that their demands were not met. According to Prakash Hamal, Ward President of Dhunibensi Municipality (3), the locals have been blocking the landfill site since Thursday morning. There was a discussion yesterday, but since no conclusion was reached, the movement has not stopped even today. About 300 vehicles carrying garbage of Kathmandu metropolis have been stopped, President Hamal said.

About 1400 tons of garbage is being transported to Banchare Danda, with 700 tons from Kathmandu and another 700 tons from other municipalities.
