The Road Division Office blacktopped the road of New Road dug for footpath expansion.

The Kathmandu Metropolitan City had dug the road from Juddha Salik to Indra Chowk of Road on both sides saying that it was not in accordance with standards.

The Road Division blacktopped the road saying that the Kathmandu metropolis’ move was against the law.

There was a dispute for a while when the city tried to stop the works of blacktopping.

The city police stepped back after the locals said that the road should be blacktopped.

Locals said that the problems had arisen due to the lack of coordination between the Kathmandu metropolis and Road Division.

The Kathmandu metropolis had dug the road in front of Bishal Bazaar of New Road to expand the footpath.
