PALPA: Unaware about the government decision to provide Rs. 1 million
as relief to the kin of Manbir Sunar, life in Palpa is still out of
gear on Tuesday due to the daylong strike imposed by the Palpa chapter
of Nepal Rastriya Dalit Mukti Morcha in a bid to protest Sunar's
murder in Kalikot.
Sunar, a Dalit man, was beaten to death in Kalikot on December 10
after he reportedly entered the kitchen of a local hotel run by the
so-called upper class people to fire cigarette.

The meeting of the Council of Minister held at the PM's office in
Singha Durbar on Tuesday morning also directed the concerned authority
to book the guilty in Sunar murder case at the earliest.
Dalit lawmakers had been obstructing the legislature-parliament for a
long time demanding compensation to victim's family and stern action
against the guilty.
However, protesters in Palpa are still uninformed about government's
decision and strike has not been withdrawn, sources confirmed.
Palpa is approximately 296 kms drive away from Kathmandu.
Today's cabinet also took a decision to form a separate untouchability
unit at the office of the Council of Ministers and to launch a special
campaign to eliminate untouchability from the society.
