The Committee has put forth different demands including formation of a high-level committee to carry out investigation on corruption and scrapping of integrated property tax.



According to NC town representative, Arun KC, there is the involvement of the Municipality officials in irregularities as the Municipality did not keep the construction company in black list though it did not complete the road construction works at ward no. 6 of the municipality in time.
