KATHMANDU: A nationwide strike called by Nepal Communist Party led by Netra Bikram Chand aka ‘Biplav’ has had minor impact in the Kathmandu Valley on Thursday.

Vehicles are plying the road as usual since early morning. Security has been tightened in view of the strike. Security personnel – Nepal Police and Armed Police – have been deployed at the major junctions of the Kathmandu Valley to preempt any untoward incidents.

However, the latest incidents of explosions and the government’s ban on the Biplav-led group have created some impact on schools. The school management has told the parents to send their children by observing the situation while some schools have given holiday.

“To foil the Biplav-called banda , security situation has been beefed up in the capital,” SSP Basanta Kumar Lama of Kathmandu Metropolitan Range Office, told Khabarhub.

Chand-led NCP has announced a nationwide strike in retaliation to the government’s ban on its activities today.
