The strike was enforced from 10 am to noon in Ramananda Chowk of Dhanusha district. According to Dharmendra Shah, Coordinator of Joint Youth Struggle Committee, the strike was a symbolic warning for any possible irregularities in constitution amendment process scheduled for 28 May. संविधान संसोधन नगरि निर्वाचन गराउन लागेको भन्दै जनकपुरका युवाहरुले आइतबार चक्काजाम गरेका छन् । जनकपुरको रामानन्द चोकमा बिहान दुई घण्टा (बिहान १० बजेदेखि १२ बजेसम्म) चक्काजाम गरेको हो । जेठ ४ गते हुने संविधान संसोधनको प्रक्रियामा बेइमानी नहोस भनी चेतावनी र खबरदारी स्वरुप चक्काजामको आयोजना गरेको संयुक्त युवा संघर्ष समितिका संयोजक धमेन्द साहले बताए ।
