What labour movement did Koirala start?

  • Kathmandu Assembly

  • Biratnagar jute mill strike

  • Nepali Trade Union

  • Eastern Workers' Rally

Answer

The Biratnagar jute mill strike, led by BP Koirala in 1947, marked a pivotal moment in Nepal's labour movement. It was the first major strike in the country's history and highlighted the deplorable working conditions and low wages faced by jute mill workers. Koirala's involvement demonstrated political support for labour rights, galvanizing workers and setting a precedent for future labour activism in Nepal.
