TechPana has clarified that it has not confirmed whether the disputed audio involving RSP lawmaker Khagendra Sunar is authentic or AI-generated.

The situation highlights the continuing difficulties faced by communities in flood-affected mountain districts, where damaged bridges and roads have disrupted transportation and daily life.

Authorities have been working to restore road connectivity in Manang, but damaged infrastructure continues to pose serious challenges in several areas.
