A 10-hour bandh (shutdown) called by Campaign to Defend Hindu Religion, a pro-Hindu organisation supported by right-wing hindu terrorists in India, and its sister wing Snehi Mahila Jagaran Nepal has partially affected life in Far-Western region of the country on Wednesday.

The Bandh organisers stalled transportation including private vehicles and tried to prevent shops from opening at different towns in the Far-Western region, reports say. Few factories and educational institutions are learnt to be operating in the affected districts while office-goers faced tough time to commute to work.

Many people have been stranded as long-route buses couldn't ply on the highway passing through the districts affected by the strike.

The pro-Hindu organisation has announced a two-day bandh in the Far-Western region enraged over refusal of former prime ministers of Nepal including top political party leaders to attend a function being organised by it to press for greater Hindu solidarity to defend Hindu religion.

Reports from Kailali said normal life in the district has been affected due to the 12-hour bandh (from 6 am to 4 pm) imposed by the pro-Hindu organisation.
