Locals have complained that the 6.6 MW hydropower project from Sapsukhola in Rajapani, Halesi Tuwachung Municipality-11 is not releasing water into the river. Locals have complained that the river from the source to the power house is being dried up and the water is being returned, which has affected aquatic life and arable land.

Kumar Budhathoki of Halesi Tuwachung Municipality-11 Rajapani said that at least 10 percent of water should be left in the river. Budhathoki said that since there is no water in the river for about 4 kilometers from Basuwa, where the source of the hydropower project is, to Beldanda, where the power house is located, aquatic life and agricultural land have been affected. He said that even when he brought this to the attention of the relevant authorities last year, it was ignored. Local Punya Prasad Regmi said that the flow of the river has been reduced, but the arable land has also been affected. There are 56 houses and agricultural land in Regmitar area. He said that due to lack of water, they had to migrate. "Water does not rise in the spring of the big river above Regmitar, the people of the hydropower project had written a document in the police office that they would make the water rise in the river by February, but they did not do it." This year, it has been documented that it will be done within one year, said Regmi.

Local Kalamraj Regmi says that because the water did not flow last year and the dam that was damaged during the construction of hydropower was not repaired, the police office at Diktel had to be discussed. "Pohor also did not release water, they did not build the broken culvert while building hydropower, then when they protested against it, they filed a complaint with the police," said Regmi, "During the discussion with the police, there was a written document stating that they would release water and build a culvert." Not implemented yet.'
