Municipality employees of Dakneshwar are on strike against the assault of their colleague Bir Bahadur Lehra, a 30-year-old field officer working in Dakneshwari Municipality.

A group of 20 people including Ram Sagar Mandal of Dakneshwari Municipality-6 and Ram Avtar Yadav alias Bhaltu allegedly assaulted and mistreated Lehra accusing him of reaching an agreement with the disputed committee without consulting about the petition against the committee and without informing the mayor and the acting administrative officer.
