The United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) on Tuesday evening took out a torch rally in Rajbiraj, the district headquarters of Saptari, to protest the government’s announcement of the date to hold the local level election.
The demonstration started from the premises of the Shiva temple in Rajbiraj with protestors vowing to prevent political election results until their demands are addressed. They chanted slogans opposed to the government before the rally ended at Jana Andolan Chowk.
The rally was extracted on the eve of this general strike the UDMF has called in the districts of Tarai today. The cupboard meeting held on Monday evening had announced its decision to cling the local level election on May 14.
The Front cadres also took out demonstrations in Bhardaha, Kanchanpur and Hanumannagar among other areas in the district, police said.
