KATHMANDU: Local residents blocked the expansion of the footpath at New Road in Kathmandu on Friday. This expansion project, which began on Wednesday, was authorized by the Patan High Court after previous delays caused by an obstruction from the Road Division, Kathmandu.
The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) had initially faced hurdles with the project, leading them to file a writ petition at the High Court. The court's approval allowed KMC to continue with the footpath expansion despite the recent local resistance.
