Kathmandu, March 24: Kathmandu Metropolitan City has opened Ranipokhari for the public for the first time after reconstruction.

After the reconstruction, Ranipokhari has been opened to the general public and now the general public can visit Ranipokhari without a ticket, said Naveen Manandhar, spokesperson of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City.

After being damaged in the earthquake of 2072 BS, Ranipokhari was closed for a long time and became ugly due to weeds and lack of maintenance. However, now it has been reconstructed and given an original look.
