Clashes erupted in a border area between Bajura and Humla districts on Tuesday, resulting in five injuries due to escalating tensions over a temporary police post and a territorial dispute. The incident occurred at Lampata in Himali Rural Municipality-3, Bajura, where local residents from Humla's Kharpunath Rural Municipality-2 opposed the construction, claiming the land as their traditional territory. Tensions intensified when a visiting delegation, including Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City Mayor Gopal Hamal, began filming the area with a drone, leading to arguments and physical altercations.
