3. Raising the issue of citizenship, Madheshi-based political parties continue to protest against voter registration in Banke and Kapilvastu districts.
4. According to district level human rights organizations, villagers are angry with the police for allegedly conniving with smugglers while at the same time harassing local residents who import small amounts of utility goods from nearby Indian towns over the border.
5. In the recent budget speech, the government has declared the establishment of a number of new municipalities across the country. In both Achham and Lamjung districts, this has generated local disputes.
