Normal life across the district headquarters Jaleswor has been gradually complicated with the shutdown of town area for the past 19 days.

Town life has witnessed complexities after the growing incidents of trading stones and bricks, vandalism and retaliation in course of shutdown of market, transportation means and offices, according to RSS.

We could not get daily essential goods and it has been difficult for mobility due to strike and frequent sporadic clashes between the protestors and suppressors, said locals.

The security concern of school-going children in the later days has increased woes of guardians with the frequent exchange of stones on the way to their schools.

The agitation was launched with the aegis of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), Jalwswor Chapter demanding district-based main offices outside the district headquarters be centralised, branch offices of Jaleswor Transport office and Inland Revenue Office to be set up and district to be declared load-shedding free zone.

District-based intellectuals have urged the sides concerned to address and manage the demands in a reasonable manner. nepalnews.com
