The agitating cadres of Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha (SLMM) torched the Saptari district Land Reform Office on Thursday. However, the fire was contained with the help of police and locals before it could cause major damage.

Likewise, earlier, Morcha cadres vandalised a National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) vehicle carrying four people including NHRC spokesperson and Commissioner Mohna Ansari.

However, the police have escorted the NHRC staffers safely to District Police Office.

Ansari and other NHRC officials were in the district to meet the victims’ families who lost their lives during a clash with the police during CPN-UML’s Mechi-Mahakali Campaign on Monday. Four people had lost their lives during the incident.

On Wednesday, SLMM activists had vandalised the house of Chief Election Commissioner Ayodhi Prasad Yadav at Rajbiraj-9 and UML central member Suman Raj Pyakurel’s house.
