Protesting secretaries of Village Development Committe (VDC) have halted work in the VDCs nationwide today.
The VDC Secretaries' Right Protection Centre (VSRPC) had decided to halt work in the VDCs every Sunday and the work was halted in the third time as per the decision on Sunday.
Chairman of VSRPC Bhawani Prasad Ghimire informed that the agitation was continued, as their demands were not fulfilled.
Stating that altogether 489 VDC secretaries have given en masse resignation so far, Ghimire said that the government was not serious towards solving the problems.
Ghimire also stressed on the need on the part of the seven-party side to make common consensus on what kind of provision should be made to run the VDCs.
