Locals in Bhaktapur stage a protest while the executive meeting going on at the Madhyapurthimi Municipal Office in Bhaktapur. They chanted slogans saying that the road leading to the municipal building in Ward No. 6 was not blacktopped for the last two years.

Locals said that even though it is the main road leading to the municipal office, the municipality has not given priority to it and they are facing difficulty in walking specially during rainy seasons. The protesting locals said that the municipality has been pushing back the work saying that there was a problem in demarcating the road.
