Lumbini, Banke, Kohalpur, Ward 8

Locals of Kohalpur have been agitated over the decision of the local administration to transfer COVID-19 patients from Narainapur quarantine to Agricultural Development Bank's training center in Kohalpur Ward 8 where there are already 25 returnees from India in quarantine. The local administration is moving the COVID-19 patients from Narinapur to ADB's training center as there is no isolation facility in Narainapur. A meeting of the Security Committee on Tuesday had made the decision to transfer the COVID-19 patients. Locals of Kohalpur, however, staged a demonstration against this decision.
