A lead from mother’s groups in Pokhara.
Elderly women affiliated to various Mother Groups in Pokhara’s tourist hub Lakeside have said, they will do anything to stop the burgeoning trend of strikes in the country.
Five different Mother Groups of the area organised an interaction with representatives of local political parties, tourism entrepreneurs, human rights organisations and the Chiefs of District Administration Office and District Police Office, Kaski, in Pokhara on Monday and expressed their commitment to stop bandhs in the area at any cost.
Their suggestions?
The elderly women also suggested the bandh organisers to padlock the houses of top leaders instead of affecting everyone by calling bandhs.
