LALITPUR: All Nepal Shop Workers Union (ANSWU) at Salesways Departmental Stores at Pulchowk today vandalised the supermarket demanding their reinstatement.

Sudhir Man Pradhananga, Managing Director of the store said the workers affiliated with ANSWU pelted stones at the store after the management committee denied fulfiling their demand within half an hour.

Around 200 agitators took to streets in front of the store. Security forces were called in to control the mob.

"We'll not be to re-open the store unless the government guaranteed our security," said Pradhananga, adding, "We had demanded raising their allowance and holiday benefits, but the workers had taken extra-money from the company."

He further added that the service had been halted effective from 25 August. Ramesh Thapa, DSP, said that three agitators and one police personnel were hurt in the protest, that lasted half an hour.
