Waste management in Nepalby | 22-02-2014 14:11 |

![]() ![]() Waste management has been a severe problem in Nepal. Mostly in the city areas the places have been polluted with plastics and chemical waste whereas the villages are full of organic waste. But nowadays the villages also have the problem of chemical pollution. The poor management of solid waste in the country has lead to this embarrassing situation. Firstly the government has not been able to utilize the full budget allocated for waste management. The people allocated for the management have not worked in an efficient or in wise manner. The decisions made by the top level decision makers have not formulated the proper plans in order to manage the solid waste. Also even the selection of waste deposition place in the capital in not so well and it has affected the people and the agricultural production around it. In addition to that the people themselves are not aware and responsible about the waste and its management. The people do not bother to dispose waste at public places and even if people want to deposit there are no any dustbin inmost public places and the roads. Also people think that it is wiser to deposit waste at open space than paying money to governmental workers to manage waste at proper place. People in Nepal need to learn about respecting public property and good utilization from it. I realized it when a tourist walking in the city carrying the empty cans as he had not found proper place to dispose it. The few public dustbins are destroyed and waste management in the roads has become more problems. We should not blame the government rather we should analyze our deeds first and then encourage other to do so before blaming the higher authority and in the same way the authority must do their work effectively. |
