A bandh called by Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) led by Upendra Yadav has marred normal life in various districts in Terai, Thursday.
Highways have been obstructed due to which buses plying on long routes as well as short routes along with private vehicles have remained off the road.
Major market places have remained closed and some private offices and factories have been closed.
MJF cadres have staged demonstration in various places of Biratnagar, Siraha, Saptari, Rautahat, Banke, and Bardiya among other Terai districts.
Large number of security personnel have been deployed on the streets. Clashes are likely to occur later today as MJF also plans to shut down the governmnet offices.
Normally, government offices do not close and the government employees are given strict instructions to attend office on the days of bandh.
MJF called a bandh in the Terai districts today demanding for the implementation of the agreement of Madhes based parties with the government two years ago.
