Kathmandu.\u00a0Ilam Municipality Mayor Kedar Thapa has been caught in a double whirlwind. Mayor Thapa’s ‘drama’ has crossed the peak of political and administrative instability in Ilam after signing the agreement to vacate the 15-meter road boundary as per the Mechi Highway norms and then protesting against the decision to put a shadow in the eyes of the people. <\/p>\n
Mayor Thapa’s so-called ‘flexibility’ is nothing more than a cheap election stunt to protect one’s reputation rather than a 30-metre road expansion but a legal process to remove encroached structures on land that had already received compensation in 2034 BS. <\/p>\n
Same person, same issue, but two different opinions \u2013 is Mayor Thapa trying to be the main ‘obstacle’ to stop the development of Ilam? With this ugly politics of the mayor who insults his own signature, the Ilamelite people will now have to question the credibility of the local government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
