Police arrested five Samaj activists while they were enforcing the strike in Butwal. Chhetri Samaj called the one-day shutdown strike in the three Districts putting forth a seven-point demand that includes enlisting Chhetris as Janjatis (indigenous nationalities), reservations in national body and timely promulgation of the constitution, among others.
