Indefinite curfew in Jaleshwor after violent protests
The local administration in Mahottari has clamped indefinite curfew in
the district headquarters Jaleshwor from 5 pm Thursday following
violent protests by the locals against the government decision to
shift the government offices there to Bardibas.
Earlier, there were frequent clashes between the protesting locals and
the police in Jaleshwor. At least four dozen protesters and six
policemen were injured in the confrontations, reports said.
Cadres of the Nepali Congress were also on the street in support of
the protesting locals.
Meanwhile, Terai Madhesh Loktantrik Party enforced bandh (shutdown
strike) in Sarlahi district amid preparations to move all government
offices from district headquarters Malangawa to Hariwon.
The bandh badly affected transportation service and businesses, but
there were reports of violence.
Protests erupted in some Terai districts soon after the government
decided to shift the government offices from the district
headquarters.
