Cadres of Federal Limbuwan State Council (FLSC) seized and burnt copies of Aujar, a daily newspaper published from Dharan in the eastern part of Nepal, in Pathari chowk and Dharan on March 12 and 13 respectively. The irate cadres had been obstructing the daily’s circulation for the last couple of days and burning its copies to protest a sarcastic article it had covered. They brought the distributed copies of newspaper in the chowk and set fire citing that the newspaper was writing against Limbuwan, according to Shambhu Bhandari, a freelance journalist in Morang.
