FLSC strike cripples eastern Nepal for 2nd day

Normal life and transport in nine districts of eastern Nepal have been badly affected for the second-day on Monday due to the shutdown strike called by the Federal Limbuwan State Council (FLSC).

The outfit which is pushing for ethnic autonomy in the district had announced a two-day strike in the eastern region demanding that the government implement the five point agreement reached with it in March this year.

It has also demanded immediate formation of State Restructuring Commission.

The districts affected by the strike are Tehrathum, Morang, Jhapa, Sankhuwasabha, Ilam, Panchthar, Sunsari and Taplejung.

Reports said that hundreds of passengers traveling to these districts from various parts of the country have been stranded at different places. nepalnews.com ag Dec 01 08
