Though series of events has been lined up at the Bhrikuti Mandap Exhibition Hall, event organizers say they are selecting the event out of compulsion. “We don´t have any option,” Shekhar Golchha, president of NADA said, “We are compelled to organize our events at the Bhrikuti Mandap Exhibition Hall even though it lacks proper exhibition facilities and sufficient parking space. There is problem in waste management as well.”
CN UPadhyaya, event manager of Furnex Nepal Expo, echoed Golchha. “We pay whatever fee they (the hall owners) demand. Still we don´t get necessary facilities,” Upadhyaya said, “Unfortunately, we don´t have any option.”
