Various political parties in Gulmi, who have been protesting the constitution amendment bill registered by the government at Parliament proposing to split Province 5, however, decided to change the form of their protest considering the hardships faced by the people due to the prolonged strike.
The district had been shut down for the past 19 days while the agitating political parties have been staging demonstrations daily, affecting normal life. Local leaders, however, said that their protest against the constitution amendment bill would be continued in other modes from Tuesday.
Their decision follows a similar move of the agitating joint struggle committee in Palpa. The agitating group in Palpa continued the stir by organising peaceful protest programmes from Tuesday.
