Scrap traders staged demonstrations against the Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC), Balendra Shah, in federal capital on Sunday.

Agitating groups hit the streets demanding that they be allowed to run scrap businesses in the Valley.

The KMC has been demolishing scrap business warehouses as part of its recent beautification efforts in the capital, of late.

Earlier, street vendors in Kathmandu sustained injuries during a confrontation with city police officials near Kathmandu Mall and the Sundhara area.

The agitating scrap traders chanted slogans against Mayor Balen for prohibiting them from operating their legally registered businesses.
