Duhabi, November 21
Locals of Duhabi in Sunsari district of eastern Nepal have staged a demonstration in the town on Wednesday afternoon, demanding Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa resign as he could not provide security to the public.
The locals resorted to the protest after a local brick kiln staffer was shot dead by unidentified persons this morning.
The demonstrators carried the body of Mohammad Fida Hussain and chanted slogans against the government.
They also obstructed Biratnagar-Itahari road section of Koshi Highway, demanding the criminals be identified within next 24 hours.
The protesters also said the government should declare him a martyr, provide due ex gratia to his family and provide an employment opportunity to the victim’s son.
Earlier, two motorbike-borne persons had opened fire on the 54-year-man while he was on his morning walk. He had breathed his last while being taken to a Biratnagar-based hospital.
