Solid waste in the Dhungrekhola area, which falls under the buffer zone of Chitwan National Park, was cleaned up on Tuesday. Tourists from various districts in Nepal as well from Germany, England, France and the US join the noble act. Stating that waste management was essential to maintain the nature and save the ecology, Aana from Germany expressed happiness over being able to join the cleaning campaign.
