Cadres of agitating Tharuwan Mukti Morcha (TMM) and Young Communist League (YCL) have vandalised and torched two government offices in Bardiya on Saturday.
The cadres of Maoists affiliated organisations have vandalised the branch office of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) and District Land Revenue Office situated at Gulariya at around 1 pm Saturday, the SP of District Police Office in Bardiya Shyam Bahadur Khadka said.
A transformer, a jeep (Ba 1 Na 68), two bicycles, computer set, some furnitures and documents of NEA branch office were destroyed in the arson, Khadka said, adding, details of the losses incurred haven’t been received yet.
The police rained batons on the demonstrators and resorted to teargas and firing in the air to bring the situation under control . The demonstrators include freed Kamaiyas and squatters. Gulariya and Sanoshree area remained tensed throughout the day. The indefinite curfew in Sanoshree area was relaxed for six hours and was clamped again at 11 am, the District Administration Office in Bardiya said.
TMM has called for a two-day bandh in five districts of mid and far west on Friday and Saturday protesting the use of the building of Cotton Development Committee (CDC) by Armed Police Force personnel. Protesters led by the Maoists are accusing the APF of trying to displace freed Kamaiyas and squatters living in Sanoshree and Taratal areas.
