The Slow Death of the Bagmati River

The Bagmati River was once the pride of Kathmandu - a lifeline for agriculture, a source of spirituality and a centerpiece for Nepali culture. But over the past few decades, the river has become an open sewer, choked with trash and industrial waste. Despite billions spent by the government and campaigns led by citizens, the Bagmati remains beyond saving. How did this once sacred river become so polluted? And what does this say about Nepal's failed efforts at development, environmental protection and good governance? Tune in to hear the sad story of how the Bagmati River went from being the heart and soul of Kathmandu to a hopeless example of corruption and mismanagement.

    I have to ponder, does the budget allocated for the Bagmati project apply for the sewage and waste management system for the houses and buildings in the area? If not, that would be the first priority. Otherwise, there is no way you can encourage people not to do away with their household waste. I believe only after fully managing this somehow should pave the way to make the condition better. Else, we're stuck here, in this moment, forever... Or worse.
