Singh said that the Tarai region has lag behind owing to the lake of positive write-ups and news about the Madhes and Madhesi.
TMLP Chairman Mahanta Thakur, Hirdayesh Tripathi, Jeetendra Son among other central leaders and lawmakers were attending the programme where the mediapersons also reached for coverage.
