Bajura/May 7 The district headquarters Martadi returned to normalcy from May 7 evening after the government assured to advance the processes including construction of bailey bridge over the Budiganga river. The agitating parties-UCPN-M, NC, UML and CPN-Maoist- called off their strike while the District Administration Office (DAO) lifted curfew following the government's assurance. The DAO had clamped curfew from 3 pm on May 7 after the situation went out of control. The major political parties and the locals called indefinite strike for past three days when the installation of bailey bridge across the Budhiganga river was halted as per the instruction of Ministry of Physical Planning and Works. They have been demanding to construct the bridge and upgrade the road that links Martadi. The protest programme was called off as secretary of Physical Planning and Works Tulasi Sitaula sent a letter assuring to resume the construction the bridge and upgrade the road stretch. Martadi remained tense due to the sporadic clashes between the protesters and the police on May 7. The security personnel lobbed dozens of tear gas canisters and resorted baton charge to take the situation under control. The local administration clamped curfew as the enraged protesters torched the residence of Chief District Officer Bhabishwor Pandey.
