Angered by vandalism by the alleged activists of business community, the Maoist-affiliated student wing All Nepal National Free Students Union (ANNFSU-Revolutionary) has announced closure of private schools for two days beginning Thursday.

Addressing a press meet in the capital on Wednesday, ANNFSU-R president Lekh Nath Neupane claimed that some participants of a rally organised by the business community had pelted stones at the union’s office in Bagbazar on Tuesday and also burnt portraits of martyrs.

“We demand that the government take strict action against the culprits,” Neupane said at the press meet.

The ANNFSU-R will also picket the office of the Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) on March 26 to protest the vandalism.
