Lalitpur, March 17, 2016: Lalitpur town area, one of the ancient towns in the Kathmandu Valley, would be made a model town for handicraft.
At a programme organised by the Lalitpur Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Lalitpur on Thursday to mark its 49th anniversary, Minister for Commerce Deepak Bohara said that tourism in Lalitpur would not foster if the town was not declared a model town for handicraft as the town had many artisans well versed with handicraft.
