Rupandehi, December 31:

Calling on the Maoists to give continuity to the truce and the government to reciprocate it, the Rupandehi chapter of the Private and Boarding Schools’ Organisation Nepal (PABSON) organised a rally from Chouraha, Butwal, today.

The rally converged into a corner meeting at the Traffic chowk. Addressing the meeting, Loknath Upadhyaya, the president of the PABSON (Rupandehi chapter), said: “The rally was staged to force both the sides to announce and extend truce.”
