Due to vandalism, looting and arson during the Zen-ji movement, the situation in the country became chaotic. On the 24th, the protestors targeted government offices, especially the houses of political party leaders.
In Siraha alone, 41 government offices were vandalized, looted and set on fire. Of which 16 were police offices. Local level offices, which are considered close to citizens, were also extensively damaged. According to government statistics, 10 of the 17 local levels of the district have suffered complete damage and 2 have suffered partial damage.
According to the District Administration Office, Siraha, more than one billion was damaged in one day across the district.
The District Administration Office, Siraha issued a notification on the 26th and directed the offices across the district to coordinate, facilitate and cooperate as much as possible from the 29th. District administration is starting full service from October 1.
District Chief District Officer Basant Adhikari said that the other offices of the district are gradually getting smaller and increasing the scope of service delivery. Similarly, all the police offices that were displaced during the protest have resumed operation.
The officials said that the locals welcomed the police and returned to the office, feeling insecure as there was no police. Along with this, the activities that have been stopped throughout the district are gradually becoming operational and life is returning to normal, he said.
'After the agitation, there was a state of confusion, but we tried to start with what we had and get up,' Prazia Adhikari told Kantipur, 'Now the situation in the district is gradually returning to the rhythm. We are trying hard to get back to the old situation. We expect everyone's cooperation in this.'
The district administration issued a notice on August 27 and warned that the identity of those who looted during the protest was clearly visible on social media, to return the looted materials and if not, action will be taken according to the prevailing law.
However, the chief district officer requested that the looted materials from the food institute in Lahan be returned, saying that there was not much return from other places. It is the property of the people. We have to serve the people through that,' he said, 'so it should be returned. Otherwise, it will be done according to the law.'
In the same way, the official informed that an investigation is being conducted by collecting photos and videos of those involved in the act of damaging public property due to political and personal gain in the name of the movement.
