The CPN-Maoist district leadership had announced the indefinite strike demanding the immediate relocation of the army camp which lies near the home of the then Maoist Retaliation Committee chairman Mahit Khan in Kudarbetwa of Kapilvastu.
The local administration has been maintaining that as per the peace accord, the base camp cannot be made to shift based solely on local level decision.
Dozens of vehicles and hundreds of passangers have been left in a lurch after the Kapilvastu stretch of the Mahendra Highway was closed down due to the strike.
Vehicles from the east have been halted at Butwal while those coming from the west have been halted at Dang.
What can we Nepali make out of this kind of decision of the Maoists who are in the government of Nepal?
