Kathmandu is the capital of our country, Nepal. The city is surrounded by hills, which look beautiful. It is a very nice city, but it has been polluted in many ways. All the rivers in Kathmandu are polluted because the drains from our houses and factories are connected to the rivers. We also throw garbage into and along the banks of the rivers. If this trend continues, the Bagmati River will soon be declared the "Sorrow of Nepal" in the future.
People throw plastic wrappers, polythene bags, and other garbage on the roads, which pollutes the environment. We should stop doing this to prevent more damage to Kathmandu. Additionally, there are many old vehicles in the city that emit smoke and produce irritating noises, which are harmful to our health.
Kathmandu has many positive aspects, but pollution remains its biggest problem. One of the best things we can do is plant more trees, and one of the worst things is continuing to pollute. I urge all the people of Kathmandu, including us students, to dispose of waste properly. Recycle or reuse items whenever possible, and avoid throwing unusable things on the streets.
