Ram Sharan Pudashaini, Editor with the Hetauda Sandesh daily published from Hetauda, a city in the central region of Nepal, was verbally abused by the demonstrators.
"The demonstrators stopped me while I was on field reporting and used foul words and said why I did not publish news supporting the banda", said Editor Pudashaini.
These activities show how miserable the Nepali media is these days.
To sheer mockery of rule of law and press freedom, the attacks on intimidation on free press continued . It is quite worrying the government remained mute spectator to the attack on press.
Freedom Forum condemns the incidents of press freedom violation and shows grave concern over government's apathy towards media freedom.
