Maitighar Flooding Caused by Technical Errors, Urbanization, Encroachment

Kathmandu. The perennial severe flooding and drainage problems in Kathmandu's Maitighar area have been concluded to be a combined result of technical errors, disorganized urbanization, and structural encroachment.

The findings are based on a report submitted by a four-member joint technical team, formed under the coordination of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, after conducting an on-site inspection on July 22.
