Construction of ‘Digital Thamel’ will be taken forward

Kathmandu. Thamel, the main tourist destination of Kathmandu, the federal capital of the country, is going to be promoted as ‘Digital Thamel’.

On the eve of the election of Thamel Tourism Development Council to be held on June 31, the candidate for the chairmanship, Bhaviswar Sharma, said that he has submitted his candidacy for the chairmanship to advance Thamel digitally in the ‘candidate introduction’ program of the group.

He said that Thamel will be declared a special tourist area, peace and security will be managed, traffic and garbage management, wire and streetlight management, harmonious relations between housewives and businessmen will be maintained.
