According to Dev Bahadur Khadka, Coordinator of Struggle Committee, unless their demands are addressed, they won't unlock the office. He also added, " citizens come all the way walking 30 kilometers to the office but their work is not done due to the absence of all the officers at the same time."  Beneficiaries have been facing this problem several times, protesting against the same rural municipality office was padlocked. 

According to Dipendra Khadka, one of the locals, the rural municipality office was padlocked when the beneficiaries who reached the office on Monday, came to know that along with President other representatives, have gone to Dipayal to conduct training related to tourism.

All the programs of the rural municipality should maintain transparency and conduct its seminar/training/meetings within the rural municipality, the office should be open regularly except in the holidays, in the absence of rural municipality's vice-president responsibility should be given to the ward-chairperson, are the demands of local people.
