Locals have cordoned off the area where Pashupati Area Development Fund office is located on Wednesday in protest of Pashupati Area Development Master Plan.
They have formed Pashupati Area Joint Struggle Committee and surrounded the fund saying that the fund has prepared a master plan to measure the antiquity of Pashupati Nath.
The locals have alleged that the master plan was brought in the name of development of Pashupati area to destroy the ancient settlements and local culture and processions within the Pashupati area.
Locals said that they had to protest against the master plan brought by the fund to celebrate 140 festivals and more than 40 processions in Pashupati area.
Narottam Vaidya, MP from Bagmati, said that the problem could not be solved even though the government tried to address the demands of the locals.
According to the locals, problem has arisen as the Pashupati Area Development Fund has prepared the master plan without coordination with the locals and local bodies.
