Local youths obstructed a vehicular movement on Thursday at Bela bridge section of Jaleswor- Janakpur road accusing Road Division Office and Constructors being reluctant to the construction of the road. The Supreme Court had stated an interim order to complete graveling of a lane in that road section and accomplish the road construction in set time but the authorities didn't follow the order. According to Ashutosh Jha, leader of Struggle Committee, they obstructed the bridge for an hour (11:30 am- 12;30 pm) on Thursday. They also informed to continue the strike in Jaleswor on Friday and Pipara on Saturday. जलेश्वर–जनकपुर सडक खण्ड निर्माण सम्बन्धमा सर्वोच्च अदालतले अन्तरिम आदेश जारी गरे पनि सडक निर्माणका लागि सडक डिभिजन कार्यालय र ठेकेदारले कुनै चासो नदेखाएको भन्दै युवाहरुले बिहीबार सो सडक खण्डको बेला पुलमा चक्काजाम गरेका छन् । उक्त सडक खण्डमा तत्काल एक लेन ग्राभलिङ्ग सम्पन्न गर्न एवं सम्पूर्ण सडक खण्डको निर्माण तोकिएको समयमै पुरा गर्न अदालतले अन्तरिम आदेश जारी गरे पनि कुनै चासो नदेखाएको भन्दै युवाहरुले बिहान साढे ११ बजेदेखि साढे १२ बजेसम्म बेला पुलमा चक्काजाम गरेको संघर्ष समितिका अगुवा आशुतोष झाले बताए । स्थानीय युवाहरुले बताए अनुसार शुक्रबार जलेश्वर र शनिबार पिपरामा समेत चक्काजाम गरिने बताए ।
