DHARAN (Sunsari), Jan 15: The five major political parties in Dharan, Sunsari district, have urged the protestors not to disrupt the health sector.

Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, CPN (Maoist Center), Janata Samajwadi Party and CPN (Unified Socialist) on Monday issued a joint statement urging the agitating sides not to obstruct healthcare services at BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS).

The major political parties' leaders have warned the agitating side of their positive intervention in the BPKIHS administration if healthcare and academic activities suffer continuously.

Doctors, teachers and staffers at the Dharan-based BPKIHS have been protesting since January 9 demanding their promotion process be taken forward at the earliest.

The protesting staff have shut down all other services in the BPKIHS except for the emergency services.

The five parties, through the statement, have requested the protesting parties to move ahead creatively as, they said, initiatives were being taken to implement the agreements inked between the BPKIHS administration and the protesting parties in the coordination and presence of the five political parties.
