According to Shri Ram Dhungana, the coordinator of the concern committee, the committee announced that they would not allow garbage to be thrown because the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) did not work according to the agreement. They have accused that KMC ignored the residents of Banchare Danda by looking for landfill sites in other places in the Valley.
The committee has also informed the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Urban Development about its decision.
