Engineers belonging to the Nepal Engineers Association in Province 2 staged a protest against the inhumane treatment of Rajesh Kushwaha, Acting Chief of the Federal Drinking Water and Sewerage Management Office, Janakpur, by the leaders/cadres of the Janamat Party led by CK Raut. They stage the protest on October 22 by chanting slogans against the Janamat Party and party president Raut demanding protection of professional rights.
After the agitating engineers marched around the city, they reached the District Administration Office, Dhanusha and handed over a memorandum to the Chief District Officer demanding action against CK Raut. They handed over a memorandum to Bandhu Prasad Bastola saying that it was a mockery of the rule of law for Janamat Party cadres to make a staff walk around the city in a semi-naked state.
