Curfew Imposed in Birgunj Following Demonstrations

In response to escalating tensions stemming from Monday’s demonstration in Birgunj, the Parsa District Administration Office has announced the imposition of a curfew in specific areas of the Birgunj Metropolitan Municipality, effective from 5 pm on Monday.

The curfew zone extends from Bara’s Simara Chowk in the west to Tilawe Bridge in the east, Parwanipur in the north, and Miteri Bridge in the south, encompassing crucial areas of the city.

The decision to enforce a curfew comes in the wake of heightened unrest sparked by events related to the ongoing dispute in Motipur of Ishnath Municipality, located in Rautahat district.

Chief District Officer Dinesh Sagar Bhusal, acknowledging the gravity of the situation and the potential for further conflict, has taken proactive measures to maintain peace and order in the region by implementing the curfew.
