The Dhaulagiri chapter of the All Nepal Transport Workers' Association (ANTWA) on Tuesday threatened to call a transport strike if a Supreme Court order to compensate one of its members injured in a clash six years ago was not implemented within a week.
ANTWA's Dhaulagiri coordinator Keshavraj Sapkota also threatened to padlock the offices of the Dhaulagiri Zonal Bus Entrepreneurs Committee (DZBEC).
In a press conference, Sapkota demanded that the DZBEC provide medical treatment and compensation to Ram Krishna Shrestha who was injured when he was beaten up by members of the DZBEC.
The apex court had directed the DZBEC to provide medical treatment and compensation to Shrestha, while a separate agreement was reached between the ANTWA and DZBEC to provide the medical treatment and compensation in the presence of members of Transport Entrepreneurs Federation in 2001.
Secretary of the DZBEC Umesh KC, however, told this daily on Tuesday that his organisation had no hand in the incidnet involving Shrestha.
