Buldi River Sanitation Program

On the occasion of 15^th National Sanitation Week various organization like Nepal Army, Nepal Police, Ex-Army officers club, community development organizations, NGO’s and various other organizations join together with AYC to clean the Buldi River. Masks and hook used in that sanitation program was sponsored by Friends for peace building and development (FRI-PAD) and Gloves were sponsored by District Health office (DHO).

Buldi river which is flowing from our region is being polluted day by day and it’s the most important issue that we have to deal with: because no one is caring about this issue. The quality of the river and its surroundings has degraded substantially over the last two decades. More particularly, water quality near the place like Ghansikuwa, Taalghare, Galbubeshi, Maalebagar, Bagbajar, Amarapuri and Bhadgaun where people carry out washing and bathing and where untreated wastages are drained has deteriorated. The degraded state of the river and its tributaries is attributable to rapid changes in lifestyle and drastic increases in population.  Which has dramatically increased water use through the installation of flush toilets, washing machines and solar water heaters.  All three technologies contribute to individual comfort, it is true, but they also increase the volume of non consumptive and sanitary water used within a household.  Almost all of this water is converted to grey and black waters. AYC is acting seriously about this issue; we are planning to work with different NGO’s, INGO’s and Government Organization to save it from more pollution. If we care we can save it but if we don’t then in some days it’d  be like Bagmati and Bishnumati so please let’s think and act seriously.
