The padlocking is part of a preannounced indefinite banda called by the college staffers demanding correction in the government decision. The agitation is led by Nepal Lecturers' Association, the MBMC unit, Rajbiraj.

The government had recently decided to merge three colleges including the MBMC, Satyanarayan Suryanarayan Marabaita Multiple Campus into the RJU. RSS
