Normal life in nine eastern districts has come to a standstill owing to the bandh called by the Federal Limbuwan State Council-Revolution on Sunday.
Agitators imposed the bandh demanding a separate state of Limbuwan. They have expressed dissatisfaction with the federal module recently proposed by the State Restructuring and Distributing of State Power Committee in the CA. The Committee proposed to demarcate the country into 14 states.
Transportation as well as educational and commercial activities in Dhankuta, Taplejung, Illam, Jhapa and Panchthar, among others, have been affected by the shutdown.
Vehicles have averted from plying on Mechi, Koshi and local highways. nepalnews.com
