Karnali, Rukum West, Chaurjahari

A clash broke out between two groups over the road issue in Chaurjahari Municipality of Rukum West that left seven people injured out of them, two are seriously injured. The clash appears to have been caused by the residents of the lower village claiming that they are not allowed to cultivate their agricultural land and that the people of the upper group are digging the road. 

The road dispute in Chaurajahari Municipality-7, Melanauli has created a controversy after another road of the same name was started near Chaurjahari-Vijayashwari-Melanauli-Narji-Kholagaun-Nuwakot. According to the victims, NCP cadres used indiscriminate beatings using home-made weapons and the police could not even arrest the person involved in the beating.

Police even fired in the air after the clash between the two groups escalated. The locals said that the dispute is not resolved yet even though they have applied to the district office of the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure of Chaurajahari Municipality, Karnali.
