Education Minister urges ANNISU-R to call off strike

BHAIRAHAWA: Minister for Education Sarvendra Nath Shukla on Sunday urged the All Nepal National Independent Students Union-Revolutionary (ANNISU-R) to call off its indefinite private school bandh.

Minister Shukla, speaking in a press conference at his hometown Butwal, said, “As it is illegal to call bandh in the education sector, ANNISU-R should withdraw it immediately.”
All private schools throughout the nation remained closed due to bandh enforced by the Unified CPN-Maoist affiliated student wing today.
The agitating union on the charge of defying the school closure vandalised several schools in different places including Pokhara, Dang, Dhangadhi, Biratnagar, Chitwan and Kathmandu.
The bandh was enforced from Sunday demanding slash in fee hike in private schools across the nation.
