Ambar Yadav, Chairman of District Child Club Network, Saptari, said the students demonstrated by tying their hands and covering their mouths with black bands.

Chairman Puskar Jha of Happy Land Child Club said the schools had been closed for long due to the earthquake and now the strike had worsened the situation.
