Questioning the delay three days after the floods, she urged local representatives to distribute the relief materials immediately.
Tamang said some ward chairs became angry when she questioned the delay. She said she had sought answers from local representatives because flood victims were still waiting for relief.
The dispute occurred between Tamang and Ward 6 Chair Dipak Karki while discussions on relief distribution were underway. Tamang had arrived at the rural municipality office while an executive meeting was in progress.
