Minister Ghising issues directives for managing burnt vehicles

Kathmandu, Sept 17: Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport, and Urban Development, Kulman Ghising, has said the vehicles in Singha Durbar premises that were burnt down in the course of the Gen-Z demonstration should be managed by taking them to another place.

He issued directives to this effect today, stating that the Singha Durbar premises looked ugly due to the burnt vehicles, stated Minister Ghising’s secretariat.

“We shouldn’t leave the office premises looking shabby, let’s do our work in the interior but not let the exterior become unsightly. Let’s make it nice as soon as possible. Damaged vehicles scattered around the Singha Durbar premises make it look unattractive, we should remove and manage them promptly to convey a positive message,” said Minister Ghising.

Minister Ghising said that he has directed for painting the outer parts of buildings that have only experienced minor fires to convey the message that we have risen from destruction, to promptly remove vehicles damaged by fire in the ministry and office premises, and to immediately assess the extent of the damage.

He clarified that the reconstruction will begin by collecting support from the government, Nepalis at home and abroad through the ‘Let us build our structures ourselves’ campaign. The Ministry of Urban Development has stated that it has formed a taskforce to assess the damage incurred in the structures under its jurisdiction and has already begun work.
