The under-construction Hulaki road, known as the second national highway of Nepal, has now become Pahelpur with corn biscuits. The black road from Biratnagar to Jhapa is like a bed of corn biscuits covered with yellow stalks.

"After the dissatisfaction of the farmers, the municipality has corrected the old decision after the all-party consensus", Deputy Chief Jhumakumari Parajuli said, "The highway It has been decided that only 20 percent of the area will be allowed to dry biscuits.
Farmers have been saying that they are forced to dry their biscuits on the road due to lack of alternative places. It is known that the road is public property.
