Campaigners against Koshi hope province will get new name

Province 1 renamed Koshi on March 1. There are no signs of movement for name reflecting ethnic identity ebbing.

Nearly a month after his death on March 24, the struggle committee agitating against the decision of the Province 1 provincial assembly to name the province as ‘Koshi', decided to perform the funeral rites of their activist Padam Limbu, also known as Lajehang, on Saturday, after holding a condolence assembly in Biratnagar.
