Panchthar, Ilam remain shut
Normal life in Ilam and Panchthar has been affected due to banda on a second straight day on Sunday, with transport, educational institutions, business and marketplaces remaining completely shut.
The shutdown has been called by the CPN-Maoist-affiliated Limbuwan Rastriya Mukti Morcha to press for an unconditional release of its cadres who were held for extortion. The outfit had given the local administration a time-frame, until Saturday evening to free the detained cadres.

The full force of the attack was directed only at the vehicle the intended target was occupying.

Satdobato, Lalitpur is declared bandha free zone by the locals. This is a great example of community initiative that has taken place in pursuit of livable Nepal. If you can implement such examples, it can be a huge step towards the goal of the campaign. Or else, you can try to convince people to look for other alternatives than bandha that can affect the economic prosperity of the community or the country.
