Nepalgunj, Nepal: The agitating United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) has imposed general strike at Banke district targeting to foil the scheduled mass assembly of the main opposition CPN UML as part of the Mechi Mahakali campaign on Tuesday.
The affects of general strike are seen in the market. Some educational institutions and market places are closed owing to the general strike. The cadres of the UDMF have been creating obstructions in some parts of the districts from the early morning.
As five people lost their lives and dozens other injured in the clash between the two factions on last Monday at Rajbiiraj of Saptari district, the local administration has mobilized the security personnel with intent to control the untoward incidents.
