The public opinion collection programmes in Parsa were marred by tension after the cadres of Madhes-based parties posed obstruction in all five venues. A Nepal Police DSP and few protestors were injured after the agitating cadres of Madhes-based parties clashed with the police. Pokhariya in constituency-5 of the district witnessed the most serious tension where police had to fire 14 rounds of tear gas shells to contain the situation. A team led by Nepali Congress lawmaker Surendra Prasad Chaudhari found it extremely difficult to conduct the programme amidst such tension. However, the collection of feedback continued after security personnel chased away the protesters. Similarly the public opinion collection at constituency-2 in Birjung also saw tension as police wielded batons to chase the protesters who tried to obstruct the programme. DSP Yadav Gharti was hurt in the clash. He had to get four stitches in his cheek. Similarly the opinion collection programme held at other locations in the district could not go smoothly after cadres tried to obstruct the programme by burning and tearing the draft constitution and damaging the tents set up for the programme.
