Locals call for making Kapilbastu Province 5 capital

Jitpur, Kapilbastu, The youth, intellectuals, representatives of political parties and members of the business community in Kapilbastu have rallied for making Kapilbastu the capital of Province 5. 
This demand comes at a time when there is a debate regarding whether to make Dang or Butwal the province capital. The government has proposed the name of these two places for the temporary capital. 
According to the constitution, the Province Assembly of the respective provinces will decide on their capitals. 
In this connection, they held a candle light rally on Thursday demanding that Kapilbastu be declared the Province 5 capital. The participants of the rally contended that Kapilbastu was the most suitable district to be made the capital as it was a historic place where the Gautam Buddha was born as well as appropriate in terms of geography, culture and tourism point of view. 
They argued that Kapilbastu would be the most suitable alternative when there is a hot debate going on between Dang and Butwal.
