Kathmandu. Additional security forces have been deployed in the Lampata area of Ward No. 3 of Himāli Rural Municipality in Bajura. Additional security forces have been deployed in the area after a clash occurred between locals of Humla and Bajura over the border dispute. DSP Shaileshwari Bohara of Bajura told Ratopati that 16 security personnel under the command of Inspector Laxmi Raj Joshi were sent to the disputed area for long-route patrol. She said, 'A team has been sent because the local people there felt unsafe.' 10 security personnel from the Armed Police Force have gone with Inspector Joshi. It takes 3 days to walk from the district headquarters to Lampata. DSP Bohara informed that the LRP team will understand the situation there and return. A clash occurred on April 3 between locals of the two districts over the construction of a temporary police post on the border of Humla and Bajura. 5 people from Lampata, Himāli Rural Municipality-5, Bajura, were injured in the clash. A decision was made to set up a temporary police post in Lampata, Bajura, which is on the border of Humla's Namkha, Tajakot, Sarkegad, and Kharpunath. When an attempt was made to establish the post, locals from Humla protested, claiming that the structure of the post was being built on this side of Kawari Khola. DSP Shankar Khadka of Humla said that the locals of Humla claim the Kawari Khola as the border between the two districts. Locals from Thali, Kharpunath Rural Municipality-2, beat up Ward Member Pema Gara Gurung of Himāli-3 and 5 others. The team led by Kathmandu Mayor Gopal Hamal, which was going there with the campaign to introduce Sudurpashchim, returned without reaching Saipal Basecamp.
