Students and teachers organised a rally in Itahari, Sunsari, on Wednesday to protest the unofficial blockade by India that has crippled normal life of Nepali people.

The participants said that they held the rally in order to press Indian government to lift the blockade immediately.

They added that the blockade is beyond the treatment of a good neighbour by another good neighbour.

Students and teachers from more than 52 government and private schools and colleges in Itahari Sub Metropolitan City took part in the rally that converged into a corner meet at Itahari Chowk after passing through various places in the city.

The meet was addressed by Kebal Phuyal, representative of the Nepal University Teachers' Association of Janata Multiple Campus in Itahari and Mukunda Ghimire, chairman of Higher Secondary School Association, Nepal, Sunsari among others. RSS
