MMT has called for a three-day strike in Dhanusha demanding the release of their cadre Arun Kumar Mahato. Police had arrested Mahato, MMT’s military commander, a week ago on charge of involvement in criminal activities.
The banda has partly affected Janakpur bazaar and the number of short and long distance vehicles plying in the district is also few.
According to Dhirendra Karna of District Education Office, their office work has also been affected as many staff were afraid to use motorcycles during the strike.
