The indefinite strike called by the Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha (SLMM) at Saptari continues to disturb daily life of the people for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday. The banda had been called after four people were killed in a clash with police on Monday.

Likewise, the Morcha has decided to hold mass meeting at various district headquarters across the nation to pressurise the government to roll back local polls and to protest the Saptari incident, informed Morcha leader Manish Kumar Suman.

Passenger vehicles plying from the district headquarters Rajbiraj to various destinations continue to remain off the road today as well. Transport service has also come to a halt in Bhardaha, Kanchanpur, Kalyanpur and Rupani along the East-West highway.

Banda enforcers have been staging demonstrations at various places of the district since early morning today. The situation in the district continues to remain volatile after the SLMM cadres started targeting local UML leaders and houses. RSS
