Viral Video of RSP MP Ashika Tamang Planting Rice on Naubise Road Is Four Years Old

Kathmandu. A video circulating widely on social media showing Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) member Ashika Tamang planting rice in potholes on the Naubise Chowk road in Dhading is not recent, despite claims accompanying the posts.

The video, shared by several Facebook users and pages, shows Tamang planting rice in the middle of the damaged road alongside a group of young people while singing a monsoon-themed song that humorously highlights the poor condition of the Naubise road. The act was intended as a symbolic protest against years of road neglect.
