A group of vandals struck on the premises damaging two computers, information counters, bulbs and dozens of flower pots on Dharahara premises alleging that contractor violated the agreement reached with the Kathmandu Metropolitan City some three years ago.
Sanjeev Tuladhar of the Side Walkers, the contractor leasing the Dharahara for business purpose, said a group of people vandalised the property on the Dharahara premises with an apparent intention to discourage the private sector. He said the miscreants also damaged two motorcycles of the company.
However, Gautam Dangol, secretary of the Sundhara and Dharahara Protection Group, claimed that the locals vandalised the property when the staffers of the company locked them up on Dharhara premises as they were planning to go to the KMC office to submit a memorandum. He alleged that the company violated the agreement reached with the KMC.
Dinesh Thapaliya, executive chief of the KMC, said the KMC wouldn’t terminate the contract with the Side Walkers since court has already upheld the contract.
“They constructed small buildings and established commercial shops instead of establishing information counters, public toilets, books shops and launching public-oriented activities,” Dangol said.He also accused the company of making huge money from the historic place.
