Parsa: A clash has broken out between the locals and the Armed Police Force (APF) over the distribution of relief in Jira Bhavani village of Parsa district. After the delay in the distribution of relief on Wednesday afternoon, about 300 dalits, poor women, children and men had gone to the village municipality office to besiege the office.

A clash broke out between the locals and the armed police after the armed police started charging batons to disperse the crowd. Seven locals, including a media person, were injured in the clash. Narayani FM and Kripa Daily correspondent Krishna Mohan Sah were injured in the clash. Sah’s head is broken. All the injured including him have been treated at the local health facility. The Jira Bhavani Municipality has not distributed relief to any ward even after one month of lockdown.

Usha Devi Tharuni, vice-chairperson of the village municipality informed that the clash took place when the locals started pelting stones at the office. The state government has sent Rs 1 million to the village municipality to distribute relief to those affected by the lockdown.

However, the distribution of relief has been delayed due to insufficient amount of Rs 1 million from the state government, said Tharuni. “It is natural for the people to be outraged when they do not get relief even after one month,” she said. A tragic incident took place in the village municipality when a vehicle carrying goods from Birgunj was on its way. She said that all the relief goods would arrive by Wednesday evening and relief would be distributed to all the wards from Thursday.

Ward Chairman of Ward No. 2, Mahadev Mahatto Tharu, said that the situation has become tense after the aggrieved locals started pelting stones at the office. B 3578, Na 1 B 3588, Na 1 B 3586, Na 1 B 3587
