People took to the streets in Butwal on Wednesday to protest against the registration of the constitution amendment bill in the parliament with the proposal of splitting Province 5.
Locals and Nepal Students’ Association (NSU) led by the All Nepal National Free Students’ Union (ANNFSU) have obstructed the movement of vehicles in Butwal.
The vehicles plying along the East-West Highway and Siddhartha Highway have been affected due to the strike.
The protesters burnt tyres and chanted slogans saying that the protest will be continued until the government withdraws the constitution amendment proposal. Protests have sparked after the government, without the consensus of major opposite CPN-UML, decided to register the amendment proposal. Likewise, splitting of province 5 and 6 to accommodate the demands of Madhes-based parties have angered the locals of Palpa, Gulmi, Arghakhanchi, Kapilvastu, Nawalparasi, where protests are taking place.- See more at: http://www.lightnepalvideo.com/videos/people-took-to-the-streets-in-butwal/#sthash.gWETntIU.dpuf
