According to Gopa BK, a Dalit woman ward member, the ward members were compelled to padlock the ward office after they did not receive salary and allowance for eight months.

Administrative Assistant Dhan Lal BK informed that a meeting was held on May 3, 2022, regarding the issue but it ended without any conclusion.

Chief Administrative Officer of the rural municipality, Nara Rawat, said that there was some delay in the payment of salary allowance due to delay in payment and disbursement.
