Similarly, the metropolis has stated that due to the scrap collection centres, workshops, car wash and grill industries operating on the stalls and vacant lands on both sides of the main roads in the urban area, there has been difficulty in traffic movement and has also spoiled the city's aesthetics.
Such industries have been informed to be managed elsewhere as they have an adverse effect on maintaining environmental cleanliness in the metropolitan area, said Metropolitan Mayor Dhanraj Acharya.
Similarly, the Metropolitan City has urged hardware shops, depots and other businesses operating in designated areas not to place construction materials, signboards and other items and materials on the roadside.
Mayor Acharya said that non-compliance with the metropolis' request and operating such businesses or enterprises and storing materials in designated areas will be dealt with according to the prevailing law.
The metropolitan city has also appealed to the residents to extend support to it in the campaign of removing structures such as workshops from highways and main road areas.
