Meanwhile, the UML Rupandehi district chairman Shiva Subedi said the party had called the YAN leadership to discuss next steps. “Everyone is infuriated here and a frightening situation has created,” he said, “But, we cannot stop our young cadres (from demonstrations) unless the administration nabs the culprits.” Meanwhile, the Butwal Area Police Office Chief, DSP Mukunda Marasini, said the shooters had not been identified till 7 pm today. बुटवल ।युवा संघ रुपन्देही अध्यक्ष दुर्गा तिवारीको हत्याको विरोधमा बुटवलमा प्रदर्शन भएको छ । साथै युवाहरुले बुटवलको राजमार्ग चौराहामा रहेको प्रहरी बिटमा आगजनी गरेका छन् । आगजनीबाट बिटमा क्षति पुगेको छ । तर, प्रहरीको सक्रियताका कारण बिट ध्वस्त हुन पाएन । अहिले बुटवल असान्त बनेको छ । युवाहरुले बुटवलको सडकमा टायर बालेर प्रदर्शन गरिरहेका छन् । जसका कारण सडकमा सयौं गाडिहरु लामबद्ध भएका छन् । शंकरनगरमा पनि सडक अबरुद्ध पारेर टायर बालिएको छ ।
