Tharuwan Mukti Morcha (TMM), a sister organization of CPN-M, has called bandh in Banke, Bardiya, Kailali, Kanchanpur and Dang- five districts of mid and far western region for April 4 Friday and April 5 Saturday.
The Maoist-affiliated organization had imposed bandh in a protest to the recent scuffle between the Armed Police force and Young Communist League (YCL).
Bandh has been imposed in Bardiya, Dang, Banke, Kailali and Kanchanpur districts for Friday and Saturday. The TMM activists have organised protest demonstrations in the districts. Following the scuffle at Sanoshree of Bardiya district on Wednesday, the administration has continued curfew in the region. Two days ago, over two dozen persons were injured after the Maoist-affiliated YCL cadres clashed with APF in Sanoshree. The YCL cadres led group of freed Kamaiyas and landless squatters and attacked the police post protesting its establishment at the Cotton Development Committee's building – where the YCL used to stay earlier.
While the seven parties have said that the police post is necessary for maintaining security in the border region, the Maoists have said that the post is not required there.
Following the violence, indefinite curfew had been imposed in Ward No 3, 4 and 5 of Sanoshree VDC from 2:00 pm on May 2. |
