Those Water PIPES -- Wonder when this will be fixed.


This is a small or even very narrow road in my home town, Battishputali, Kathmandu, Nepal. We call this route "Khari Ko Bato". Route named after the big tree along the way called "Khari Tree". This is the same route I used for my entire school days as well as when I needed to do a short-cut to reach Maitidevi town. 35 years ago when I was a child and after those long years - this particular route has not been changed a bit. It is exactly the same - i.e those water pipe laying on the ground and distribution of water lines to individual houses. During the course of last 35 years - many things has changed in Nepal and even in my home town but "Khari ko Bato" remains exactly the same - nothing has changed.

I wonder when this route/road will get new face, get pipe line structured, get pitched or even put some cover up so that the people feel comfortable to walk. It seem either locals or the council (WADA) has paid no interest at all on the road that I used to use 35 years ago and now. Perhaps one day - HOPE is the answer for this !!!!
