DEUKHURI, Dang, June 15: Locals of Sishaniya VDC set fire on the shelters of the ex-kamaiyas (freed bonded laborers) on Monday.

A local Maya Chaudhari said some 250 huts of the ex-kamaiyas from Sagarapur and Bagarapur of the VDC were burned down by the locals.

The locals damaged the huts with fire as the ex-kamaiyas did not abandon the settlement as per the all-party agreement reached 15 days ago.

After the fire, the ex-kamaiys are homeless.
