Nepal's King Gyanendra is preparing to quit the Narayanhiti royal palace in Kathmandu soon, just days ahead of a key meeting of the Constituent Assembly on May 28 is expected to dethrone him.
Gyanendra was likely to move to Nagarjun Palace, some eight kilometers north of Kathmandu, where he will stay for few days before heading to Nirmal Niwas, his private residence situated in Maharajgunj on the outskirts of the capital, a vernacular daily said.
The Telegraph Nepal online reported the Gorkhapatra vernacular daily - the state owned media, as saying that "it is highly likely that Nepal's King Gyanendra will vacate the royal palace at the earliest" in an effort to avoid the possible confrontation with the thousands of Maoists cadres who have been summoned to Kathmandu by the CPN-Maoist to surround the royal palace in heart of Kathmandu.
