UWTC Brouhaha Continue

Dispute between management and shopkeepers of United World Trade Center (UWTC), the largest mall in Kathmandu, continues to linger as both parties are reluctant to come to negotiation. The dispute started after a theft case in a mobile accessories shop on May 20. The shopkeepers are demanding better security arrangements and other facilities from the manage ment whereas the latter begs to differ. “Actually, there is no problem. A few people with vested interests are making it an issue,” said Sakunta Lal Hirachan, chief executive officer of UWTC. Shopkeepers led by Sanjaya Adhikari organised a press meet and put forward their demands. “The management is ignoring our genuine demands,” he said adding that they want security, workable power supply backup, water, sanitation and other facilities.
