Supporters of the banda called by the Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN) continued to assault journalists and press vehicles on Tuesday as well.
The supporters manhandled a journalist of Mountain TV and vandalised the van ( Ba 9 Cha 2933) at Gatthaghar in Bhaktapur this morning.
The irate banda enforcers vandalised the van that was heading to pick up television staffs, and took away the identity cards and manhandled journalist Uttar Phuyal and office staff Mina Khadka, sources confirmed. The banda supporters had impounded the van for some time.
Likewise, a tourist bus (Ba 1 Ya 430) has also been vandalised at Mahankal of Bouddha this morning.
Meanwhile, police detained some eight banda supporters at Jadibuti for forcefully enforcing banda in the area.
Though NEFIN Chairman Raj Kumar Lekhi, in a statement, urged cadres not to obstruct the movement of media persons, banda supporters have ignored the call.
