KATHMANDU, March 11: One year has passed since the operation of broomer by the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) to keep the city streets dust-free. However, the city roads do not look free of dust as expected.

KATHMANDU, Feb 6: Although broomer machines are seen operating in the Kathmandu Valley on a regular basis, they have drawn criticism from the operators as well as the general public for not being suitable for the road and environment of the Valley due of some major technical drawbacks they have.
