The agitating supporters of the Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha removed the signboards of municipality and village councils in the southern part of Nawalparasi district. The protesters carrying black flags staged a demonstration in front of Ramgram Municipality and requested the locals to boycott the local level elections. Mukurji Giri, district coordinator of Morcha, said around 1,000 motorcycle-borne protesters staged demonstrations in Belaspur, Ujaini, Manjhariya and Parasi areas. Even as the Morcha supporters have been protesting after the government announced the date of the local level elections, major political parties have started organising election programmes in various parts of Nawalparasi district. The Nepali Congress started the door-to-door hustings in the district. Other parties, including the CPN-UML, the CPN (Maoist Centre) and the RPP are also on the campaign trails. Brijraj Kushwaha of Guthiprasaini-8 said some people have been involved in the protest following their parties’ directives. “Madhesi people are not against the upcoming elections,” he said. संयुक्त मधेसी मोर्चाका कार्यकर्ताले रामनगर नगरपालिकामा लगाएको बोर्ड हटाएका छन् । संविधान संशोधन नगरी सरकारले नयाँ स्थानीय तहको घोषणा गरेर निर्वाचनको तयारी थालेको भन्दै मोर्चाले जिल्लाको दक्षिणी क्षेत्रका नगरपालिका र गाउँपालिकामा पुगेर बोर्ड हटाएको हो । मोर्चाका संयोजक मुकुरजी गिरीका अनुसार जिल्लाको महेसपुरबाट मोटरसाइकल र्‍यालीसहित सबै स्थानीय तहमा पुगेर विरोध प्रदर्शन गरेको छ । चुनाव बहिष्कार अभियानअन्तर्गत बुधबार जिल्लामा लाठीसहितको मोटरसाइकल र्‍याली निकालेको छ । मोर्चाले सीमावर्ती क्षेत्र महेसपुरबाट करिब हजार मोटरसाइकलको संख्यामा निकालेको र्‍याली बेलासपुर, उजैनी, मन्झरिया हुँदै सदरमुकाम परासीको जिल्ला प्रशासन कार्यालय अगाडि विरोध प्रदर्शन गरेको थियो ।
