The local government will not accept the latest move of Everest National Park to continue the helicopter flight in the Khumbu area. The Khumbu Pasanglhamu rural municipality issued a statement and strongly objected to the decision of the national park to suddenly withdraw from the prior agreement of not allowing commercial flights with the park.
The president of the municipality, Mingmachiri Sherpa, has clarified that the purpose of the constitution is to operate on the basis of coordination, cooperation and coexistence of three levels of government, and all the rights to make decisions regarding environmental protection and biological diversity are vested in the local government.
He has made it clear through a statement that commercial flights that only benefit certain professions and businessmen will not be accepted by the local government as it will disturb the right of humans and animals to live in a peaceful environment in the area that is on the world heritage list.
The municipality has accused the businessmen of trying to deviate from social responsibility by suspending the heli flight while the municipality is ready to facilitate the air flight for the transportation of goods and emergency rescue. The park said that they will allow flights for rescue and transportation through all-party discussions.
Earlier, the Heli operators announced that they will not operate any flights in the Khumbu area, after which the district administration took responsibility for peace and security to create a flying environment and warned of legal action against those who tried to stop the flights. Soon after, Everest National Park reversed its previous stance overnight and concluded to open flights for a fee.
