The Front cadres burnt the newspaper copies of the Kantipur and Annapurna Post national vernacular dailies, venting their anger for not covering news related to their protest programme, it is stated.
Protesters stopped vans carrying these newspapers for distribution at Lahan and burnt copies of Kantipur, The Kathmandu Post, Annapurna Post and The Himalayan Times, Surendra Shrestha, who saw the incident, said. The newspapers were brought from Biratnagar.
