Trash Heap of History

BIKRAM RAI

Garbage has piled up in Lalitpur because dumping trucks can’t drive on muddy roads to the landfill site. The writing on the wall exhorts students to vote for the Revolutionary Students’ Union, promising a ‘clean educational environment’. Just when you thought the Maoists had brought closure on their revolution, we are back to square one with the UCPN(M) threatening to fight off rival CPN-M who want to sabotage the November polls.
