Kathmandu 2nd May.
UCPN-Maoist is on an indefinite strike nationwide starting from today. In Kathmandu and other major cities of Nepal markets, school, colleges, industries are closed. Public and private transportation are also not allowed to ply on the road. UCPN-Maoist activities and its sister organization YCL is seen deployed on different parts of the capital. We can see their gathering on the street. The security forces are also deployed in large number acknowledging the probability of clashes. People are seen walking on foot to their destination. The streets look deserted as all the shops are closed and no vehicles are plying on the road.
Yesterday, the maoist supremo Prachanda declared in a large assembly that they will continue in this indefinite stike until and unless the present Prime Minister resign from his post and give way to a national government.
