*Kathmandu Metropolitan Spending Party*
Kathmandu, city of temple, capital of naturally enriched (Mountains, lakes,
Hills, River) palace Nepal. Where people believe more than 4 millions (but
record shows 2.5 millions) people reside in 50.67 square km area. All the
governance body(ministries, departments, commissions), legislative
body(Supreme Court, Armed Court), Security Force (Nepal Army, Nepal Policy,
Armed Police Force) are centralized in Kathmandu. People have to come
Kathmandu for going outside from Nepal, because only one international
airport (Tribhuwan International Airport) is in Kathmandu. So it is
obvious, the huge budget is spent for Kathmandu. Open Knowledge Foundation
Nepal, organized City Spending Data Party on July 19-21. The objective was
to work on the budget of kathmandu metropolitan that was announced just 1
week back. The program was invitation only , so the announcement for
participation was done in 12 july

every one worked hard, here is the summary:
