Cadres of the ruling CPN have obstructed Nepali Congress (NC) central member Minendra Rizal who went for laying foundation stone for office building of Rising rural municipality in Tanahu on Sunday.

Trees were felled and put across the road to prevent him from reaching Rising from Damauli. "There were youths with sticks. They obstructed us with support of the local administration," Rizal told Setopati.

SP with Tanahu Police Binod Silwal conceded that there was tension for a while and claimed that the situation cooled off after mobilization of police. "The foundation stone was laid and he even spoke there and they are returning now," Silwal revealed.

CPN has created obstruction demanding that the place for constructing the office building should be decided on consensus.

Senior NC leader Ram Chandra Paudel has called the attempt to attack Rizal an insult of the people of Rising.
