Kathmandu, March 27
The local government in the country’s capital, Kathmandu Metropolitan City, has decided to track all its citizens who recently returned home from outside the country. The city government’s recent decision is a part of its effort to minimimse the risk of coronavirus infection.
Nama Raj Dhakal, the chief of the city’s administration department, has recently written a letter to all 32 wards of the city, directing them to begin keeping records of the details of the citizens who recently returned from any country.
Meanwhile, the city government also directed the ward offices to ensure the smooth operation of its regular essential operation such as solid waste collection during the lockdown also.
Likewise, they have been told to make all the shops selling essential foodstuffs open during this period. The shops will be told to deliver the goods at doorsteps as far as possible so that the citizens do not need to visit the shops, thereby making crowds.
