Maoist strike cripples life in Dhangadhi

DHANGADHI, Dec 23: The indefinite strike called by UCPN-Maoist after the Dudejhari incident in Kailali has crippled life in the district.

Meanwhile, an all-party meeting held on Wednesday to end the five-day long banda ended inconclusively.

Chief District Officer of Kailali Gehanath Bhandari said no agreement could be reached on the Maoists´ demand for establishing a temporary camp in the jungle for the squatters. He, however, said that their other demands like treatment for those injured in Dudejhari incident and formation of probe commission were agreed upon during the meeting.

“I have said yes to their seven demands. But their demand for temporary shelter cannot be fulfilled,” Bhandari said.

The Maoists had called for an indefinite strike since December 19. They have stood firm on their demand for temporary arrangement for the squatters even if it is outside the Dudejhari jungle.

UCPN-M Kailali secretary Hari Prasad Chaudhary ´Utsab´ said that they would continue their protests until their demands are met.
