19 injured in the first day of Bisket Jatra
Altogether 19 persons were injured in the Bisket Jatra, a chariot pulling festival that began in Bhaktapur on Saturday. Some were injured after falling off the chariot while some were injured in clashes that took place among the revellers. At around 1:00 am, the clash took place among the groups involved in pulling the chariot. People pelted stones at each other after a dispute over fulfilling the route specified by Bhaktapur municipality. The chariot pulling resumed this morning and has been taken towards Gahiti.
संस्कृति जोगाउन जात्रा मनाउने अनि आफु-आफै बीच ढुङ्गा हानाहान गर्ने? जात्रालाई हेप्नी? औडा गर्दिनी? तेसो नगरे कसो होला?
CELEBRATE WISELY | STAY SAFE | TAKE CARE 
Note: Bikset Jatra is celebrated for Nine Days. The Bisket Jatra signifies the end of a year and start of a new year on the Bikram Sambat calendar.
