Thirty-one members of the CPN (Maoist Centre) from Dhodchaur Village Council in Salyan have resigned, expressing displeasure towards the party’s local leadership for not backing them in their attempt to retain Kalakhet as the administrative centre of the village council.

An all-party meeting had agreed to change the administrative centre of the village council to Dhodachaur from Kalakhet recently.

Bir Bahadur Bohara, one of the party members who resigned from the party, said on Thursday that the centre of the village council was changed even though Kalakhet was centrally located. The party leadership did nothing to stop the decision, he claimed. (PR)
