An improvised device was set off on Monday morning at the joint office of Birtamod Municipality in Jhapa district of Eastern Nepal.

"Five windows, four chairs, two chairs, letter pads, a new computer along with a cabinet and other materials of official use were damaged in the blast," Ajay Karki, ward-chief of Ward no 8 told ANI.
