Kathmandu Metropolitan City erasing mural that honoured frontline pandemic workers invites ire Kathmandu Post
Nepal, July 2 Ever since the pandemic began last year, the people most at risk of being infected with the coronavirus have been frontline health workers. Also at risk are security personnel who have been at the forefront of enforcing frequent lockdown orders.
In appreciation of their efforts at checking the spread of the pandemic, Dujang Sherpa, a social activist and artist, decided to pay a tribute to them by painting a mural on the wall of the overhead pedestrian crossing at Ratnapark. The painting was to appreciate the work of front liners in the fight against the pandemic-doctors, nurses and security personnel-as well as those who passed away from Covid-19, Sherpa told the Post.
