The on-going dispute between Undivided Far-West supporters and Tharuhat supporters on border demarcation has been intensified. Undivided Far-West supporters had called indefinite strike targeting grand AGM planned by Tharuhat in Dhangadi. Although the agreement was made between the two parties to let Tharuhat organize AGM and resume transportation services in District Administration Office Kailali, the supporters of Undivided Far-West have not accepted the decision saying that the agreement was done by people who were not involved in the movement. Rally was organized against the agreement. According to Gopal Deuba, coordinator of Undivided Far-West Mobilization Committee, Kailali, the movement will continue until Far West remain undivided. Similarly, Keshab Joshi of NSU Kailali said that agreement made confidentially by leaders do not have a meaning and it is an insult to youth involved in the movement.
