Cadres of the agitating Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJPN) organised a torch rally at Rajbiraj, the district headquarters of Saptari, on Monday.

The rally that started from Shiva Mandir marched through varoius parts of Rajbiraj and converged into a corner assembly at Janaandolan Chok.

RJPN central senior vice-chairperson Mrigendra Singh Yadav and Nawal Kishor Sah and General Secretary Manish Kumar Suman, among other leaders, took part in the rally.

RJPN on Sunday had announced fresh protest programmes including general strike saying that they will not take part in the upcoming second phase local elections slated for June 28 until their demands were met.
