Locals have been protesting against China-sponsored Damak Clean Industrial Park in Damak Municipality, demanding adequate compensation for the acquired land and transparency regarding the Chinese investment project located in Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s home constituency Jhapa-5.

On Tuesday, one such protest was organised by Federal Limbuwan Forum, one of the constituents of the Federal Democratic National Forum. It attracted almost 5,000 protesters from among indigenous nationalities and other marginalised sections of society.

Chairperson of Federal Democratic National Forum Kumar Lingden told THT that they organised the protest as 150 households who had been living on government land in Damak Clean Industrial Park area for many years had not been paid compensation by the government.
