Locals backed by business community and political parties had been demonstrating against the government decision to establish service center in Chandranigahapur since March 16.
Even though the government withdrew its decision last Friday to move service centers of the Land Survey and Land Revenue Offices, the death of a local protestor Ashish Thakur by a van of Armed Police Force had enraged the residents of the area.
A six-point agreement was reached between administration and protesters in presence of Federation of Nepali Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) Rautahat Chapter, Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ), Rautahat among others, informed Chief District Officer Madan Bhujel.

Marketplaces in the district headquarters have reopened since early morning after the strike was called off.
