UML ends west-east march, asserts problem-solving role

Leaders say campaign helped them understand people’s concerns. But experts say UML is unclear what it actually wanted from the march.

The CPN-UML’s 18-day mid-hill march concluded in Chiwabhanjyang in Panchthar district on Sunday with a national flag hoisting ceremony. By raising the national flag near the India border in Sikkim, the party has tried to convey that nationalism remains a key element of its political agenda.
