Birgunj remained tense on Friday as well following a clash between the protesting activists of Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) and Police on Thursday.

Six persons including Parsa district vice-chairman of MJF, Birendra Yadav, were injured during a clash between police and activists of the MJF at Ghantaghar and Maisthan areas in Birgunj Friday morning.

All the injured persons are undergoing treatment in Birgunj-based Narayani Sub-regional Hospital.

According to radio reports, police fired in the air and fired some rounds of teargas shells to disperse the protesters when MJF activists tried to padlock Birgunj customs office.

Police released all the MJF activists, who were arrested Thursday when they were staging sit-in on Miteri Bridge . Two police personnel of Armed Police Force were injured during a scuffle between police and MJF activists on Thursday after the MJF activists tried to enforce Birgunj Bandh in protest of the arrest.

Though the MJF has called off indefinite terai strike, it has been continuing blockade in customs points in various parts of the country.
