Duhabi Municipality Launches Modern Waste Management Center with Indian Financial Assistance

Sunsari. The process for constructing a modern solid waste management center in Duhabi Municipality, Sunsari, has formally begun. The foundation stone for this center, which is being built in Duhabi Municipality Ward No. 4 under the Koshi Province, was jointly laid today by Narayan Singh, First Secretary of the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu, and Bed Narayan Gachhadar, Mayor of Duhabi Municipality.

This project is moving forward with financial assistance of approximately 164 million Nepali Rupees from the Government of India. Duhabi Municipality itself will handle the implementation responsibility for this center, which is being constructed under the 'High Impact Community Development Project'. As waste management becomes a major challenge with increasing urbanization, this structure is expected to greatly contribute to the cleanliness and environmental protection of the city.

At the foundation-laying ceremony, Mayor Gachhadar expressed gratitude for the development cooperation from the Government of India. He also expressed confidence that this new facility will promote sustainable and scientific solid waste management in Duhabi Municipality. Furthermore, other stakeholders stated that this project will prove to be a milestone for local development.

This project is viewed as a result of the deep and multi-sectoral cooperation between Nepal and India. This assistance has been received under the Indian policy of supporting Nepal's journey toward development and prosperity by building infrastructure in priority sectors.
