CPN-UML Secretary and House of Representatives member Yogesh Bhattarai has called to resolve the dispute regarding the cable car construction in Pathibhara area of Taplejung through dialogue and dialogue.
Expressing grief over the unpleasant incident that happened on January 12 at the construction site regarding cable car construction, leader Bhattarai said that political parties active in Taplejung and representatives of all three local levels have the same opinion regarding cable car construction.
'Regarding the construction of the cable car, the political parties active in Taplejung and the people's representatives at all three levels are in favor of building a cable car,' Bhattarai said through a press release on Wednesday, 'I respect the right to protest and dissent in a democracy. It should be peaceful and civil. The problem should be resolved through dialogue and dialogue. Activities that provoke the situation and disrupt social harmony will not benefit anyone.'
Member of Parliament Bhattarai has asked the protesting party to withdraw the strike program, the government to release the arrested persons, to arrange for the treatment of the injured and to solve the problem through talks immediately. Pilgrims come. Devotees come here from Sikkim, Darjeeling, Assam, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Vihar and other regions of India.
Member of Parliament Bhattarai has claimed that there is no alternative to the construction of a cable car that will help the elderly, children and the disabled to reach the Pathibhara temple.
It is estimated that up to 1 million pilgrims and tourists will reach Pathibhara every year due to the construction of the cable car and the promotion of the glory of Pathibhara. It is believed that this will help the Taplejung people's employment, financial gain, marketing of local products, commercialization and overall prosperity of Taplejung," Bhattarai said in a statement, "It seems that a cable car station will be built about 800 meters outside the main temple of Pathibhara. No hotel or restaurant will be built or allowed to be built on the top of Pathibhara . 2 thousand 112 trees and poles will be cut. There is no truth in the rumor of cutting 25,000 trees as it is being propagated outside.'
Bhattarai has also wished for the health benefits of Nepal Police, Armed Police Force personnel and citizens including the injured police inspector in the incident of January 12. He also expressed the view that the cable car manufacturing company should give 50 percent concession to Taplejung residents.
'The cable car side should announce free service for Taplejung senior citizens above 70 years and children below 10 years and disabled. The citizens of the affected areas should be provided with accessible shares. Taplejung residents should be given first priority in the field of employment. 50 percent discount should be given to the residents of Taplejung on the cable car fee,' said Bhattarai.
