This research examines local governance and administration of everyday life in Nepal through the lens of road users’ committees and road transportation. Nepali state has been mobilizing such committees with theoretical wrapper of institutionalizing grassroots democracy and participatory development. As one of the major actors for local development, user’s committees have not only transpired local development projects but also have facilitated for consolidating political patronage and administrative privilege. This research explains how the private actors engaged in road transportation services in rural Nepal benefit and enjoy capital accumulation, practice monopolized power, negotiate the everyday administrative spaces and provide sub-standard services. While doing so, this paper has benefitted from Bourdieu’s idea of ‘habitus’ and Gramsci’s theory of ‘hegemony’ and it has drawn evidences from multi-sited ethnographic methods to reflect on the ways both private and public actors territorialize local transportation services which reinforce long standing inequality, marginality of services and form a new social habitus. Besides, it brings in the stories of everyday practices of ordinary citizens to challenge existing unequal cultural ideologies entrenched in Nepalese society.
