Progressive Democratic Party Condemns State Violence in Sunsari

Kathmandu. The Progressive Democratic Party (Pratidhwani Loktantrik Party - Pralopa) has expressed serious concern over the state's firing during the tension in the Kapantaganj area of Dewangunj Rural Municipality in Sunsari, which resulted in the death of local youth Om Prakash Mehta and injuries to other citizens.

A press statement issued by the party's Publicity Department Chief Rajman Tamang on Tuesday stated that although the government's first duty is to ensure peace, security, and the protection of citizens' lives and property, the Dewangunj incident has raised serious questions about the government's sensitivity, administrative capacity, and responsibility.
