Saving Kathmandu

June 11, 2019  Kripendra Amatya : The houses and structures which have blocked rajkulos and canals should be shifted elsewhere

With the onset of monsoon, pictures of Kathmandu streets being waterlogged have started to surface in social media. Royal canals, called rajkulo, are blocked by infrastructures. Concrete building and blacktopped roads stop infiltration of rain in soil, causing the ponds to go dry. As water fails to enter the soil due to concrete houses and paved roads and the sewerage gets jammed due to litter, even light rains could cause spread of water on the streets in the capital city. And as the water cannot enter the soil, underground water level decreases every year and people are forced to dig deeper to extract the underground water.

Jun 11, 2019 : The saying goes that Sardar Manohar Singh could point to where each water pipeline had been laid under Kathmandu, and where all the valves and chambers and reducing holes were. Manohar--who came all the way to Kathmandu from Rawalpindi in 1931--knew all this for a simple reason: he had played a crucial role in laying them. And when Kathmandu started tracing networks of roads above those very pipelines, it was Manohar’s son, Sardar Hardayal Singh, who would build paths and ensured their maintenance.
