A section of people has also stepped up protests against the government claiming that it has done nothing to ensure justice to the family of Jaya Singh Dhami, who has been missing after falling into the Mahakali River after the Indian SSB personnel allegedly cut off the cable of the improvised cable crossing he was using to cross the swollen river.
Home Minister Bal Krishna Khand, Chief Secretary Shankar Das Bairagi, Nepal Army chief Prabhu Ram Sharma and Defense Secretary Begendra Raj Sharma Poudyal are among those participating in the meeting.
