The local administration imposed curfew from 11.30 a.m. till 5 p.m. following protests and clashes between the two communal groups. The clash occurred after party activists of Nepal Sadbhawana Party (Anandi-devi) vandalised some public transportation and shops in Nepalgunj while enforcing their Terai Bandh called on Monday. The situation has become normal following the imposition of curfew. This is the first time the local administration has imposed curfew following the success of April movement. Meanwhile, transport entrepreneurs obstructed Mahendra highway protesting the vandalising of vehicles during the bandh.
