Banda affects daily life in Jhapa

Jhapa, Sep 9 – The Federal Republican Socialist Party (FRSP) has called for a banda or general strike in the nine districts of the east, including Jhapa district, today, affecting the normal life in those districts.

 

The party has called for the banda demanding that federal states including the Limbuwan state be guaranteed before the election to the Constituent Assembly (CA) takes place.

 

Hundreds of passengers have been stranded due to the closure of transport services on the East-West Highway, the Mechi Highway and other highways connecting the districts. Educational institutions are also closed due to the banda. No untoward incidents have been reported so far in Jhapa district in course of the general strike, police said.
