All private Higher Secondary Schools across the country remained closed Sunday due to the bandh (strike) enforced by All Nepal National Independent Students Union- Revolutionary (ANNISU-R).

The newly formed students' wing of CPN-Maoist announced a two-day nationwide shut down of all private higher secondary schools demanding that foreign name of all private Higher secondary schools across the country should be replaced by Nepali one.
