PANCHTHAR, Oct 30: Sanghiya Limbuwan Party (SLP) Nepal has started campaigns in the villages of nine districts of eastern Nepal to garner people's support against the new constitution's failure to declare a Limbuwan province.
Earlier, SLP had centered its protest programs in the district headquarters and urban areas. SLP has been pushing for the creation of Limbuwan province comprising of Panchthar, Taplejung, Ilam, Terhathum, Dhankuta, Jhapa, Morang, Sunsari and Sankhuwasabha districts.

"We have been raising the demand of Limbuwan province for a decade," said Lavahang Chemjong, a central member and leader of SLP. He further said that their demands will be met only if the government implements past agreement with the party.
"The ultimate goal of our campaign is to unite people for preserving our culture and beliefs in all respects," he added.
According to him, a mass gathering from people of Ilam and Panchthar will be held at Ravi Bazaar of Panchthar on Saturday. SLP Chairman Kumar Lingden will address the mass gathering held at different locations himself.
