The cable car manufacturing company has cut down the rest of the trees in the Pathibhara area after the coordination committee formed by government representatives and No Cable Car Group broke down. A representative of the company said that the trees above Bottom Station were cut on Wednesday morning.
Earlier, 80 percent of the trees were cut in the first week of last May (1st). On Wednesday morning, 17 percent of the cutting was completed and now only a few trees are left around Bottom Station.
In the 6-point agreement made by the negotiation committee, it was mentioned not to work above the bottom station. But after the protesting group announced the program of the second phase of the protest, the representative of the company said that the trees were cut down.
According to Taplejung Division Forest Office, 21 hundred and 14 large trees were cut. It is mentioned that 6000 trees will be cut big, small, pothra, pothri . The agitating group also planted trees in the area where the trees were cut, and protesting against the first phase of tree cutting, a strike and other programs were held.
The agitating group objected to the issue of tree cutting and has now warned of a strong protest.
The company said that the work of the bottom station is also continuing. There was a dispute between the government negotiation team and the No Cable Car group on whether to stop the work or keep the work as is. The No Cable Car group has announced the program of the second phase of the protest with the conclusion that there is no reason to negotiate with the current committee, saying that the six-point agreement has not been followed. They have stated that they will negotiate only at the ministerial level as their only demand is cancellation of the cable car. But the government has not prioritized it .
The protesting group has staged a sit-in at the Global IME Bank in the headquarters of Fungling. Due to the sit-in, the service provided by the bank has been affected. After the dharna started, the bank closed its shutters. As part of the second phase of the program of the protesting group, there is a program to hold a sit-in in the branches of Koshi province. They have announced sit-in, march, Fungling Municipality Gherau and other programs until February 7th.
