Nepali demonstrators demand the scrapping of a cable car construction in Pathivara, a religious site in Sankhuwasabha district in Eastern Nepal, which is also referred to as ''Mukumlung'' by the ethnic Kirati community of Nepal. They paint their faces with slogans while demonstrating in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 5, 2025. The construction of the cable car line has long been in dispute. The idea is first raised by Olangchung Gola-based traders during King Birendra's visit to the area in 1988. Later, four business persons register Kanchanjungha Cable Car Pvt Ltd in 1998, but it is left in limbo. In May 2018, the executive committee meeting of Phungling Municipality gives permission to Pathibhara Mata Darshan Pvt Ltd to construct the cable car as per clause 11 (6) of the Local Government Operation Act, 2017. The project results in bloodshed and frequent clashes in the area where the construction is planned.
