PARSA, Dec 14: Birgunj Metropolitan City has removed temporary shops operating in encroachment of BP Park near Ghantaghar Chowk.
The action targeted fruit, vegetable, and other stalls in the city center, as the city plans to organize the park more systematically, Mayor Rajeshman Singh said. He noted that the park had become disorganized due to the presence of temporary vendors, prompting their removal. “This morning, we used excavators to clear the unorganized market. The vendors themselves were helping remove their belongings,” Singh said.
