UML General Secretary Shankar Pokharel, who is leading the government, has accused people from outside the district of trying to obstruct the construction of the cable car at Pathibhara in Taplejung. Pokharel claims that the residents of Taplejung consider it necessary to build a cable car in Pathibhara.

There was a clash between the 'No Cable Car Group' and the police at Pathibhara in Taplejung on Thursday afternoon. 12 people including security personnel were injured in the clash. To control the situation, security personnel fired 7 cells of tear gas . 

On Thursday, Pokharel wrote on the social networking site Facebook, 'Taplejung residents consider the development of infrastructure including cable cars necessary with the idea of ​​making the famous Pathibhara in their district a major religious and cultural tourist destination in the country, so it is not good for outsiders to disagree with it and try to destroy it.'

General Secretary Pokharel has not mentioned that who went from outside and sought the construction of a cable car there.
