Minister of Industry, Agriculture and Cooperatives of Koshi Province, Khagensin Hangam has appealed to the negotiation committee formed by the provincial government to immediately negotiate with the "No Cable Car Group". Speaking in the state assembly, he appealed to call for immediate talks, saying that the content of the clash that took place at Baludanda in Pathibhara area on January 12 was different.
"I came to that place by doing politics and social service," he said, "Baludanda is a 30-minute walk from Kaflepati, that area becoming a war-torn area is not fair." Bane appealed to call for talks through the committee.
'It was seen that some groups ignored their demands, for that, even though I myself am in the government, a negotiation team has already been formed,' Hangam added, 'I would like to request the coordinators and members of the negotiation team formed in Koshi province through consensus, cooperation and dialogue.' He also requested the federal government to treat the injured as it is a matter with the federal government.
The Council of Ministers of the Koshi State Government has formed a three-member negotiation committee under the coordination of Economic Affairs Minister Ram Rana with Physical Infrastructure Development Minister Bhupendra Rai and Internal Affairs and Law Minister Revathiraman Bhandari as members for the purpose of discussing or negotiating any movement. Its member secretary is Kamal Thapa, secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Chief Minister Hikmat Kumar Karki has also taken the incident of Pathibhara area seriously and efforts are being made to create an environment for talks, said Bikram Luintel, press adviser to the Chief Minister.
