BHAKTAPUR: Nepal Workers and Peasants Party (NWPP) Chairman Narayan Man Bijukchhe blamed India for the collapse of industries and factories in Nepal.

Addressing a programme organised in Bhaktapur on Wednesday, Bijukchhe accused India of collapsing industries of Nepal by sponsoring commission to a handful Nepali leaders.

Noting that India is still eyeing on the hydro power potentials of rivers and rivulets of Nepal, he said Nepal's production sector was broken down owing to the Tarai unrest and blockade imposed at the behest of India.

Leader Bijukchhe also accused India of unofficially exercising its power in Tarai of Nepal.

He said the Tarai unrest was not in favour of poor farmers and workers of the region and noted it has rather pushed them to the vicious circle of poverty.
