Dalit beaten to death: Community shuts three districts in protest

DANG, DEC 27 -

Various Dalit organisations enforced a general strike in Dang, Rolpa
and Syangja districts on Monday to protest the killing of a Dalit
youth in Kalikot district.

Normal life was greatly affected in Dang as transportation came to a
halt while market places, industries and educational institutes
remained closed due to the banda. The protest crippled life in Rolpa
and Syangja districts as well. Banda enforcers demanded strong action
against the guilty and compensation for the victim's family.

On December 10, 31-year-old Manbir Sunar was beaten to death by two
men in an eatery in Kalikot. Under the influence of alcohol, Mim
Bahadur Shahi and Dip Bahadur Shahi had severely thrashed Sunar as the
latter lit a cigarette in the oven.
