Commuters and street vendors have been using the area as open toilet. Nobody, not even the political parties, who frequent it for mass meetings, has given any heed to clean the area. Lila Bahadur Bhandari, a street vendor from Nuwakot, says the foul smell emanating from the human excreta is so intense that the commuters find it hard to walk through the area. — RSS
