Govt employees based in Saptari district resign en masse

More than 400 employees of government offices, local bodies and corporations based in Saptari district have said that they have sent a joint resignation letter to Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala alleging that government did not pay attention to their security.

According to reports, employees first tried to send the resignation through the chief district officer of Saptari. After the CDO declined to accept their resignation letter, they have sent it through post to the PM.

The government employees had been engaged in agitation after the murder of Prabhu Narayan Yadav, an official of Saptari District Development Committee, two weeks ago.

They alleged the government of remaining inactive over the growing insecurity caused by various armed and criminal groups in the terai. nepalnews.com ia Nov 07 07
