They pelted stones at the Ncell building, smashing several windowpanes. They attacked the Ncell office despite heavy security presence. Five persons were arrested from the scene.

Some 87 members of the All Nepal Trade Union Federation affiliated with Baidya's party, who were earlier working with Hello Nepal, a private telecommunication company that was acquired by Ncell few months earlier, had been agitating for some time demanding reinstatement in their previous positions.

However, the Ncell has refused to take them in, saying that it has no liability towards the workers who were working on contract basis at Hello Nepal. nepalnews.com
