The main opposition party Unified CPN (Maoist) has called strike for hours in Kailali district on Saturday morning protesting the Nepal Army patrolling in Dudejhari jungle.
The agitators claim that armed Nepal Army personnel from Surkhet reached Dudejhari patrolling through Sugarkhaal, Pandoum, Khimari and Mohanyaal areas. However, Nepal Army has not clarified the reasons.
The opposition party claimed patrolling by Nepal Army was the breach of the peace accord and that the strike was called to draw attention of the government.
The strike has been called back after local authority said it was a mistake for army personnel to travel through the forest.
Transportations were halted for hours along local roads and east-west highway.
Few weeks ago, Maoists called Kailali bandh for several days after clash between the Maoist-sponsored landless squatters and police in Dudejhari forest. nepalnews.com
