Lumbini, Aug. 5: The Lumbini Development Trust has held an interaction programme with the Lumbini Sanskritik Municipality for the protection, promotion and exploration of Lumbini heritage. During the interaction programme held on Sunday, both sides stressed the development, protection and promotion of archeological, religious and cultural aspects of the birthplace of Lord Buddha with partnerships between the Trust and Municipality.
Treasurer of Trust Dhundiraj Bhattarai said that support of the local government, local residents and all stakeholders was required since the mere effort of the Trust was not enough for the development and protection of the Lumbini area.
Bhattarai argued that Lumbini should be developed as a must-visit site for Buddhist followers and peace lovers worldwide. He urged the stakeholders and local government representatives to support the development of Lumbini as a ‘peace site’.
Deputy Mayor of Lumbini Sanskritik Municipality Kalpana Harijan said that Lumbini is an invaluable treasure of Nepal and an environment conducive should be created for better collaboration between the Trust and the Lumbini Sanskritik Municipality
