Subject: Urgent Need for Better Waste Management in Chitwan

Respected Editor,

I am writing to express my concern over the growing issue of waste management in Chitwan. Despite being one of the most rapidly developing cities in Nepal, Bharatpur and its surrounding areas continue to struggle with proper garbage disposal. The streets, rivers, and public areas are often littered with unmanaged waste, posing serious health and environmental risks.

While the local authorities have made efforts to implement waste collection services, they remain inconsistent and ineffective. The lack of proper recycling initiatives further exacerbates the problem. Public awareness campaigns and strict policies on waste disposal are essential to tackle this issue.

I urge the municipal authorities to take immediate action by improving waste management infrastructure, enforcing stricter waste disposal regulations, and encouraging community participation. A cleaner Chitwan is not just a necessity; it is our responsibility.

Sincerely,
Bikash Bhandari

Subject: Rising Air Pollution in Kathmandu – A Growing Health Crisis

Dear Sir/Madam,

Through your esteemed newspaper, I want to highlight the alarming rise in air pollution in Kathmandu. The capital city has frequently ranked among the most polluted cities in the world, posing severe health risks to residents. Thick smog, dust, and vehicle emissions have led to increased cases of respiratory diseases, allergies, and reduced quality of life.

Despite numerous discussions and policy drafts, little has changed in terms of effective implementation. Uncontrolled urbanization, excessive vehicular emissions, and unmanaged construction activities continue to worsen the situation. Urgent action is needed, including stricter emissions regulations, promotion of electric vehicles, expansion of green spaces, and efficient public transportation systems.

The government must prioritize this issue before the air in Kathmandu becomes unbreathable. I appeal to concerned authorities and citizens alike to take this matter seriously and work together for a cleaner and healthier capital.

Sincerely,
Bikash Bhandari
Kathmandu
