All Nepal National Independent Students Union-Revolutionary (ANNISU-R) cadres close to CPN-Maoist, today burnt the hoarding boards of more than a dozen plus two colleges in front of Ratna Rajya Campus.

Ratna Dhakal of ANNISU-R said they had served a 24-hour ultimatum to Higher Secondary Education Board on Friday to remove the hoarding boards, but it failed to comply therefore they had removed the boards themselves and burnt them in a public place.

He said, “Use of hoarding boards mean huge investment in advertisement, which is ‘Vulgar’, adding, “We have given priority to removing hoarding boards of such plus two colleges that have foreign names.”

He further said the hoarding board removal campaign would continue until they remove all such boards and HSEB took the initiative to change foreign names.
