Students affiliated to Chand-led group Akhil Krantikari staged a demonstration in Bharatpur on Sunday saying mobile service provider Ncell has cheated on taxes.

District Chairman of Akhil Krantikari, Ramesh Lamichhane blamed that the government was acting helpless before Ncell a foreign entity owned company. He strongly criticized the government, saying that the government was not able to do anything even when 72 billons tax were being cheated.

Instead of encouraging Nepali companies, the government gave foreign companies a chance to dominate. They also protest for the release of arrested Narendra Biswakarma.     

Revolutionary Central Secretariat Member Badri Adakhari warned to demolish towers of Ncell across the country if Ncell did not pay the taxes on time.

They also protested saying boycott Ncell and end corruption.
