Tinkune Park deteriorated into a grassland [Photos]

KATHMANDU: DEC. 5 – This location, in Kathmandu’s Tinkune area, was originally a driving school. It was formerly muddy. The grass appeared to be growing all over the park.

However, when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited in Nepal on Saturday, 2076 BS Ashoj 25 (12 October 2019), a hastily constructed park was constructed. When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Nepal earlier this year, the landscape was blanketed in blue tins.

Planting of plants and dubo took conducted overnight before to the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Attempts were made to make it appear positive, but when President Xi returned, the situation at Tinkune Park deteriorated. Dubos had been stolen, and word got around quickly. Cement figurines of various animals were strewn about.

Because no one cared, the park gradually became desolate. Despite the fact that the Kathmandu Metropolitan Government and the Government of Nepal have designated this area as a permanent park, no further action has been taken.

Many times, the Prime Minister, ministers, MPs, mayors, chief secretaries, and other dignitaries have come this way, but no one has thought to continue the effort of greening this bleak location.

Neither the metropolitan government nor the federal government took the initiative. If a decent park could be developed in this vital part of the city, it would be a place for everyone to walk and would also improve the city’s appearance in the eyes of international tourists arriving at the airport.
