The blockade created by Madhesi Morcha since September 24 has continued on October 11. No vehicle has entered Nepal because of the blockade at the main custom point of the country. The Morcha is also continuing the general strike it called on August 15 causing the closure of schools, colleges, factories, transportation and market places. On recent days, the participation on the sit-in at the border is growing with people arriving from rural areas too. Meanwhile, the locals of Bhedihari VDC burnt the effigies of UML chairperson KC Sharma Oli, UCPN-M chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal, NC chairperson Sushil Koirala and MP elected from Parsa constituency number 4 Surendra Chaudhary.
