I just want to add some points in this discussion. We need good water source for KTM whether it is Melamchi or sth. else. But the another problem in KTM is its rapidly increasing population. If this is not controlled well, situation will be same even if Melamchi comes and distribution system is reformed. It is a matter of discussion about how to control KTM population. But improving infrastructure outside KTM will be one option so that newcoming people will choose somewhere else to reside. Government can encourage new educational institutes, hospitals to be opened outside KTM by giving them certain incentives. On the other hand, land purchase, new construction etc. inside KTM (at least inside ringroad) should be strictly controlled and planned.
