UN Park of Jwagal, Lalitpur is being used by the locals as a garbage

UN Park of Jwagal, Lalitpur is being used by the locals as a garbage disposal site lately.The park was constructed to provide green space for urban residents, but locals of the ward 1, 2 and 10 have been dumping garbage collected in their respective wards inside the park.“Haphazard disposal of garbage has polluted the park’s environment. As a result, only a few people visit the park these days,” said Dev Gurung, a street vendor near the park.Green space in urban areas provides substantial environmental benefits. According to studies, trees can remove from the air as much as 15 percent of ozone, 14 percent of sulfur dioxide, 13 percent of particulate matter, 8 percent of nitrogen dioxide, and 0.05 percent of carbon monoxide.
