A boy died and his sister was injured when a bomb left behind by suspected Maoists exploded recently at a nearby jungle of Change village in Therathum district, locals said.
They were herding cows in the jungle when the bomb exploded. A group of armed Maoists Saturday went on a rampage for more than four hours in Mangalebare in Ilam and robbed merchants of nearly Rs.500,000, locals said.
Transporters Sunday suspended bus service between Gagate and Kharanitar on the Pasang Lhamu Highway under Maoist threat for allegedly carrying security personnel. Security forces shot and injured one person who defied curfew orders in Ghorai in Dang.
