24 Feb 2015, Bara- Protests against the government’s move to roll back its decision to set up units of land revenue and survey offices at Simara has been postponed on the tenth day of the agitation on Tuesday. In a press release issued by the protest committee today stated that the protest and strike has been called off, for now, as different state bodies expressed their commitment to address the protester’s demands through dialogues, keeping in mind the possibility of destruction of properties.
The committee has further decided to send in a delegation of talk representatives to the Office of the Prime Minister on Tuesday.
Vehicular movement is coming to normal at Pathlaiya-Birgunj highway and market place and schools have also started operating after the postponement of the protest.
“On one hand the state has committed to address our demands while on the other hand local police administration has been using violent force, hence we have decided to change the face of our protest,” said committee member Krishna Poudel, “The main highway connecting to the Capital has been affected along with the peace and security, therefore we will create internal pressure and struggle to get our demands addressed through talks.”
