Blast at UML office in Morang

An unidentified group detonated a bomb at the office of the CPN (UML) at Amardaha in Morang district Monday morning.

The blast caused minor damage to the office building, but there was no human casualty, reports said.

Apparently, the blast was meant to terrorise the political workers participating in the publicity campaigns for the April 10 constituent assembly elections.

Insurgent groups in Terai have warned that they would do everything to disrupt the constituent assembly election.

On Sunday, five armed groups – Madhesi Mukti Tigers, Terai Cobra, two factions of Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha and Samyukta Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha – had announced various protest programmes including shutdown strikes in Terai to disrupt the polls. nepalnews.com mk Mar 17 08
