Leaders & citizens alike praised Balen after he discovered ‘Tukucha river’
Many people have praised Mayor Shah's efforts.

KATHMANDU: The Tukucha river was discovered during the excavation based on the mapping done by Kathmandu Metropolitan City, and it has been praised. Political party leaders and ordinary citizens have been praised as part of Mayor Balen Shah’s campaign.
Many people have praised Mayor Shah’s efforts. Following their encounter with the Tukucha River, the mayor, who was with the citizens, joined the top leaders and civic leaders. The Tukucha river was discovered while digging in the compound of Jai Nepal Hall as soon as 15 feet was dug.
The Tukucha River, which flows from the Narayanhiti Durbar area, vanished in this region. Locals have long demanded excavations, claiming that the structures were built by encroaching on the river. The metropolis used dozers to dig in various locations to find the Tukucha river.
The Kathmandu Metropolitan City issued a public notice on July 28 to remove the structures built by crossing the Tukucha River. No one had removed it after a long time had passed since the metropolitan’s notification, so the metropolitan began its own search for the Tukucha River. The Jai Nepal Cinema Hall in Kathmandu’s Jamal was destroyed after they collected the map of the Tukucha River and began marking it, and they arrived with a bulldozer on Thursday.
His efforts were lauded on social media after the Tukucha River was discovered on Thursday. Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, Chairperson of the Nepal Samajwadi Party, has openly praised Mayor Shah’s initiative to revitalize the mostly dormant river. ‘Mayor Balen Shah’s initiatives to organize the Kathmandu municipality, to revive the mostly dead rivers, etc. are commendable!’ he said on social media. The path should also be planned. However, self-employed workers are forced to conduct business on the sidewalk or in public places all over the world! As a result, they must be managed by establishing a specific time and location!

Dr. Chandra Bhandari, the leader of the Nepali Congress, has also praised his work. Tukucha River has reborn! Tukucha prepared delectable land mafia food! As a result, the lion court’s authority is limited to the local level. Then there is the creation of a constitution with rights. “I believe it is possible to protect the mother. She was looking for deserving children “He stated.
टुकुचा खोलाको पुनर्जन्म !!! भूमाफियाहरुको मिठो भोजन बनेको टुकुचा !!! त्यसैका लागि त सिंहदरवारको अधिकार स्थानीय तहमा । तव पो अधिकार सहितको संविधानको निर्माण । विश्वास छ आमालाई सुरक्षित राख्न अवश्य सकिन्छ योग्य सन्तानहरुको प्रतीक्षा थियो ।

RPP Nepal Chairperson Kamal Thapa has expressed gratitude for the adventure of discovering the lost Tukucha river. Many thanks to Sunita Balen. “My childhood memories of swimming in Tukucha from Bagbazar to Padmodaya School are still vivid,” he added. “May Kathmandu’s rivers and canals flow smoothly and cleanly.” ‘Best wishes.’

बालेनले टुकुचा खोलुन्, अझ त्यो चीनिया दूतावासदेखि मा~थि न्युरो अस्पतालसम्मै खोलुन्, चाँदबागको जग्गा सरकारमा ल्याउन्, बुनपाको मेयरले खहरे खोलुन्, महालक्ष्मीका मेयरले कर्मनाशा खोलुन् अनि मनहरा फाँट मध्यपुर, ललितपुर र काठमाण्डौँले मिलेर फिर्ता ल्याउन्! गज्जब हुन्थ्यो।🙏#ImwithBalen
