Locals have padlocked the office of Ward 8 in Godawari Municipality alleging that local representatives at the ward are distributing relief for the lockdown only to those close to their party. Bikki Ojha, a local, said that the ward office did not provide relief to the people actually affected by the lockdown.  

Ward Chairman Naresh Bahadur Adhikari said that the citizens who had been complaining that they were not getting relief, or they were not getting enough relief, padlocked the ward office.
