Lockdown at Bhimdutta Ward-3 Office Ends After Eight Days

Kanchanpur. The padlock on the Bhimdutta Municipality-3 ward office in Kanchanpur has been removed after eight days. Last week, local residents had locked the office demanding road construction, drainage systems, and water supply.

Ward member Meena Kunwar stated that the office reopened on Wednesday following an agreement between the locals and the ward office to address their demands. "Service seekers were facing difficulties due to the week-long closure," she said. "The ward services have resumed after reaching an agreement to address the legitimate demands of the locals."

Local resident Dabal Bahadur Singh noted that service seekers suffered as essential daily tasks, including recommendations, certificates, and birth registrations, were completely halted during the closure.

Bhimdutta Municipality's Chief Administrative Officer, Mahesh Bahadur Bam, confirmed that the citizens' demands have been addressed and the process is underway. "They had demanded road construction, and the municipality has already initiated the process to address that request," he said. "Projects that are not feasible for the municipality will be fulfilled through the provincial budget."
