Madness Of Protestors In Duhabi Nepal
By KTM Metro Reporter
May 27, 2013: after the success of the protestors bringing the home minister to Sarlahi to investigate the murder of the former legislator, the locals and relatives of the victim shut down the Duhabi bazaar, and blocked the vehicular traffic on the east west highway yesterday demanding the police investigate the murder of a girl on April 27, 2013.
Hundreds of locals and relatives came out to protest the police’s failure in nabbing the culprits involved in rape and subsequent murder of a girl 26 days ago. Two persons were critically injured and more than 40 locals and some security personnel injured in the scuffle with the police. As the situation went out of control, the police opened fire to bring the situation under control, according to ‘HIMALAYAN NEWS SERVICE’.
In view of tension flaring up, local women’s group, business, and social organizations took out an all-party peace rally. Industry Union Duhabi Chairman Umesh Goswami said clashes ensued after police resorted to indiscriminate baton-charge to disperse the mob. “Police opened fire after they failed to bring the angry protesters under control even after firing several rounds of teargas shells,” Goswami said, HIMALAYAN NEWS SERVICE writes.
After police used force, angry locals vandalized buses, heavy trucks, mini trucks, motorcycles, a bus carrying wedding procession, ambulances and a bus ferrying oxygen cylinders, and more than 65 motorcycles, Goswami added.
Ambulance drivers in the Sunsari yesterday announced the shutdown of ambulance services in the region for an indefinite period to protest vandalism of 13 ambulances and merciless thrashing of the drivers by the locals during the yesterday’s demonstration at Duhabi in Sunsari. The ambulance drivers brought the vehicular movement to a halt in Morang’s Nemuwa and Sunsari’s Itahari by parking ambulances on road. Two ambulance drivers were critically injured after the infuriated locals thrashed them, according to ‘HIMALAYAN NEWS SERVICE.’
