LALITPUR: The Ministry of Local Development has invited Expression of Interest (EOI) from the private sector to establish garbage-fuelled plant in the Kathmandu Valley. “The notice will be published tomorrow inviting the private sector,” said Dr Sumitra Amatya, member secretary of the High Level Committee on Waste Management. The applicants are requested to submit their proposal within a month.

The government, during the fiscal budget, had announced setting up such plant in the valley. A seven-member HLCWM was formed on August 30 to deal with the issue.
