Negotiations between meter badge victims and Home Minister Sudhan Gurung have resumed. The talks, which were scheduled to begin at 12 noon on Wednesday, have resumed after nearly 8 hours. The bilateral talks are ongoing at the Municipal Chamber of Commerce and Industry building in Nijgadh, Bara.
Home Minister Gurung is currently studying the demands presented by the victims.
Home Minister Gurung has been repeatedly coming to Nijgadh since Tuesday to hold talks with the victims. The victims have submitted a draft of their six-point demands to Home Minister Gurung for talks, said Nirga Naveen, coordinator of the United People's Rights Front Nepal, which is participating in the meter-billing victims' movement.
The victims had started a walk from Janakpur on Ashad 25 and walked towards Kathmandu demanding justice. They have been stuck in Nijgadh for two days. After it was decided to hold talks with Home Minister Gurung in Nijgadh, they postponed the walk and sat in talks with the Home Minister.
After the victims put forward their six-point demands, the talks began at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry hall in Nijgadh on Tuesday. After the talks that were held late on Tuesday night failed to reach an agreement, it was decided to hold the talks again from 12 noon on Wednesday. But Home Minister Gurung, after meeting in Simara and monitoring some areas, went to visit the temple in Parsa National Park. Meanwhile, the victim leaders were engaged in internal discussions.
