The District Administration Office of Ramechhap has announced Sunapati Rural Municipality-4, Bethan as a riot zone effective from November 21. The area has been announced as riot zone because of possible riot during the election assembly organized by left alliance according to CDO Yagya Prasad Sharma. The administration has prohibited to organize election related assemblies and rallies in these area. The left alliance has a schedule for a big election assembly at Bethan on November 21 and at the same place Nepali Congress has also decided to organize assembly. The administration is bound to declare the area as riot zone to avoid possible clash between the cadres. Prior to the declaration, the administration had requested the parties not to do the assembly on a same day and place. जिल्ला प्रशासन कार्यालय रामेछापले मङ्सिर ४ गते सूचना प्रकाशन गरी सुनापति गाउँपालिका-४ बेथानलाई दङ्गाग्रस्त क्षेत्र घोषणा गरेको छ । प्रशासनले मङ्सिर ५ गतेबाट लागु हुने गरी दङ्गाग्रस्त क्षेत्र घोषणा गरेको हो । मङ्सिर ५ गते वाम गठबन्धनले आयोजना गर्न लागेको चुनावी आमसभामा जुलुश भीड वा सङ्ठित समूहबीच हिंसात्मक वा विध्वंसात्मक गतिविधि हुने सम्भावना देखिएकोले दङ्गाग्रस्त क्षेत्र घोषणा गरिएको निमित्त प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारी यज्ञप्रसाद शर्माद्वारा जारी सूचनामा उल्लेख छ । सो क्षेत्रको वरपर चुनावी कार्यक्रम नगर्न/नगराउन राजनीतिक दलहरूलाई आग्रह गरिएको छ । वाम गठबन्धनले मङ्सिर ५ गते बेथानमा वृहद जनसभा गर्ने पूर्वनिर्धारित कार्यक्रम थियो । सोही दिन काङ्ग्रेसले पनि सोही स्थानमा सभा गर्ने तय गरेको थियो । दुवै दलहरूलाई कार्यक्रम नजुधाउन आग्रह गर्दा पनि कार्यक्रम जुधाएकाले यसो गर्नु परेको प्रशासनको प्रष्टोक्ति छ ।
