Biratnagar, August 18, 2015: An indefinite strike declared by United Democratic Madhesi Front and Tharuhat Front has caused the normal life in the eastern region out of gear from early morning today.
For the last four days, schools and colleges have been closed while the vehicles have remained out of streets due to the strike. To reach their destinations, the commuters are forced to use the rickshaws by paying large amount due to the general shutdown.
Similarly, in the government offices, the number of service seekers has sharply reduced . To put forth various demands in the new constitution, the Madhes-based political parties and other organisations have enforced the strike.
