The marketplaces and transportation here which opened some one week ago have been shuttered yet again on Tuesday. Concluding that the impact of agitation has weakened, the United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) had decided to intensify protest from today. Front’s cadres have gathered at major crossings of the city burning tires. On Monday evening, the front took out a torch rally. Meanwhile, a group of cadres have continued sit-in at Nepal-India border.
