A district security committee meeting this morning has decided to mobilise Nepal Army in 10 VDCs of the district in Kailali. Following violent clashes in the district on Monday, where eight persons, mostly security personnel, lost their lives, the meeting decided to use NA to further calm the situation in VDCs situated in the vicinity of Tikapur. The meeting declared Munuwa, Joshipur, Durgauli, Dhansinghpur, Narayanpur, Tathariya, Khailad, Bhajani and Bahauniya VDCs as riot-affected areas where NA will be mobilised. Meanwhile, police fired multiple shells of tear gas to disperse crowds at Narayanpur, Bhajani and Joshipur VDCs gathered for demonstrations early morning.
