Here comes an interesting update for Nepali youth!<\/p>\n
Since a week period, Nepal\u2019s social media and its fans have been busy on the mission of cleanliness.<\/p>\n
The world-wide viral activity titled #Trashtag<\/strong> challenge <\/em>has been drawing huge attention from the Nepali audience, especially the youth in social media with the sole agenda of \u2018Clean Nepal<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n This viral post includes two photos, one with an open space full of trash and the other of the same space cleaned up completely!<\/p>\n #Trashtag in Nepal began with KP Khanal, a social worker and activist, sharing his story of a \u2018clean-up drive\u2019 conducted at the New Bus Park in Gongabu with five of his friends!<\/p>\n Khanal tagged his social media post under #trashtag<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Khanal\u2019s post grabbed the attention of a popular Nepali Facebook page \u2018Routine of Nepal Banda\u2019 on March 10, 2019. And, that\u2019s when the #trashtag challenge took a different turn drawing more than 19,000 likes and 300+ shares from the page.<\/p>\n Then it went on viral among other groups and pages to finally becoming viral among Nepali youth!<\/p>\n \u201cWe started the clean-up at night so as not to disturb people\u2019s movement and because it\u2019s a very busy place, we were unable to take the \u2018before\u2019 picture. But I am happy that many youths from across the country have taken on the challenge,\u201d said 19-year-old Khanal<\/span>, who is pursuing Bachelor\u2019s in Social Work at Texas International College in Mitrapark.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThis is a great initiative. We have been requesting people not to throw trash here, even fining them Rs 1,000, but it hasn\u2019t worked,\u201d says Puspa Kumari Mishra<\/span>, an Army ranger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe #Trashtag Challenge in Nepal!<\/h4>\n
