KMC installs metropolitan board at Gaushala Dharmshala

KATHMANDU: The Kathmandu Metropolitan City has installed its own board at the Gaushala Dharmshala in the Pashupati area.

On Wednesday, the city police removed the board of the Marwadi Service Committee and replaced it with their own, despite protests from the committee.

The city’s team used force to put up the new board.

Outside the Dharmshala, members of the Marwadi community held protests against the city’s actions.

A team led by Ward Chairperson Ashman Sangat and the Chief of City Police Rajunath Pandey visited the Dharmshala to enforce the eviction.

The police attempted to vacate the premises by making announcements until 10 a.m., but when the committee did not comply, they forcibly removed them.

During a prior press conference, Ramesh Tadiya, the president of the Marwadi Service Committee Nepal, warned that the metropolitan authority should not engage in any activities at the Dharmshala.

He emphasized that the full text of the court ruling had not yet been received, and since the court is currently on vacation, the committee should be granted the right to present their case once the full ruling is available.

Following the police’s attempts to clear the Dharmshala, there was a brief confrontation with the Marwadi community.
