Simara, Bara, was left in turmoil for two days due to a dispute between Gen-G and UML activists.
The Police Headquarters has summoned Bara Police Chief Superintendent of Police (SP) Santosh Tamang to the headquarters on Friday.
The head office has decided to send Narendra Kunwar, Superintendent of Police of the Human Trafficking Bureau, in his place.
‘The pullout was made according to the needs of the organization,’ said Deputy Inspector General of Police Abi Narayan Kafle, central spokesperson of Nepal Police. ‘The pullout is like a transfer. Another SP has been sent in his place.’
SP Tamang took charge of the district for about 10 months. He is still in the district on Saturday.
Last Wednesday, a clash broke out between Gen-G and UML activists and police in Simara, Bara. Simara was troubled for two days due to protests, arson, curfew, airport closure, vandalism, etc. On Friday, during talks with the District Security Committee along with Sudhan Gurung’s team, SP Tamang was heavily criticized for his shortcomings in security management.
Gurung accused Tamang of being helpless, saying that the Gen-Js were beaten up in front of the police and that the police, despite a heavy presence, were unable to arrest them.
