Voting is underway across the country on Thursday. But while voting is in full swing in Jhapa-5, which is considered the 'epicenter' of the election, farmers were busy planting rice in Sano Barhghare, Damak Municipality-10. Local farmers are currently busy planting Chaite (Biju) rice. They said they voted in the morning and came to plant rice in the afternoon. 'May the situation in the country be better than it is now. May Nepalis not have to go abroad. May they have a situation where they have to work hard in Nepal,' said Diksha Tamang, who was planting rice.
