Ending the three-day-long demonstrations, the agitating side inked an 11-point deal and withdrew all protests related to the Barahathawa incident.
According to the agreement signed at the District Administration Office in Malangawa on Sunday, the municipal hospital located at Barahathawa will be handed over to the Madhes Province Government.
