Lalitpur, Dec 2: The Lalitpur
Sub-metropolitan City chief, Tara Bahadur Karki, has said that the shops and
stalls located at Lagankhel and Jawalakhel in the district would be permanently
removed as during the 18th SAARC Summit.
These shops would be permanently removed
as they have created inconvenience to the passersby and the movement of
vehicles in the roads.
Hundreds of stalls and shops were located on
both sides of the road sections and hundreds of vendors used to sell goods
encroaching on the roads, therefore they would be removed permanently, Karki
added.
However,
a local footpath runner, Mahesh Upreti said that he was worried with this
decision of the local administration and rued difficulty for hundreds of
shopkeepers in making ends meet and sustain families with this decision.
He urged the administration to
manage alternative sites for the footpath shopkeepers like him.
The local administration has deployed 10
security personnel to take care of the sites as hundreds of flowerpots are kept
in the sites. RSS
