Daily life in Phungling, the district headquarters of Taplejung, is gradually returning to normalcy after the district administration lifted prohibitory order with effect from Tuesday night.
Vehicles to and from the district headquarters ran as usual while human activities increased in the market areas on Wednesday.
The district administration imposed a prohibitory order in Phungling and Kaflepati area on Sunday after tensions escalated over the Pathibhara cable car project.
Various groups under the ‘No Cable Car’ campaign have been protesting the construction of a cable car project in the Pathibhara area, arguing that the project threatens the environment, encroaches on indigenous Limbu culture, and disrupts local livelihoods.
