What is happening in Dharan? 

In recent days, the Dharan sub-metropolitan city in eastern Nepal has become the focal point of discussions. An incident involving the killing of a bull in the city for consumption by an indigenous community has ignited a widespread conversation on social media and the tea shops around the country.

This has caused a split in public opinion with almost everyone having other take on the issue. The point of view varies from one individual to another but the issue has escalated to the point that the city had to issue prohibitory orders to ensure a communal clash did not take place in the city.
