Harka Raj Rai, popularly known as Harka Sampang, is a social activist and politician who served as the sixth mayor of Dharan (2022–2026). Born in Khartamchha, Khotang in 1983, he studied English and political science at Mahendra Multiple Campus and worked abroad before returning to lead anti‑corruption and water‑supply campaigns. He popularised the "Shramdaan" (voluntary labour) movement to lay 42 km of pipelines and plant tens of thousands of trees. Sampang founded the Shram Sanskriti Party in 2025 after the Gen Z protests and resigned as mayor to contest the Sunsari‑1 parliamentary seat, which he won decisively.
