Youths stage a protest against the government in Birgunj for failing to handle COVID-19 crisis. The youths have said that the government has failed to control and prevent coronavirus in the demonstration organized against the federal government in Birgunj on Thursday.

The youths took to the streets to put pressure on the government to take the right path saying that the RDT test being conducted by the government was not justified and the pace of the government was not satisfactory while lockdown is underway.

Police in large numbers were mobilized after the local administration came to know about the protest.
