Traffic and day-to-day life in capital Kathmandu has been adversely affected Sunday morning as the Unified CPN (Maoist) prepare for rallies and a huge mass assembly for Sunday afternoon.
The Maoists are organising rallies and mass assemblies in Kathmandu, Biratnagar, Nepalgunj and Dhangadi Sunday afternoon as part of their protest programme against the President’s move to intervene in the government decision to sack the army chief.
They are taking out rallies from 11 different locations in Kathmandu including Lagankhel, Kalanki, Gongabu and Chabahil, among others. Traffic has been disrupted in the valley due to the rallies. According to the valley traffic control room, public transports have already stopped in some places.
The Maoists are bringing their cadres from various districts around the capital to participate in the mass assembly. Some 45 passenger buses are ferrying Maoist cadres for participation in the rally from Gorkha alone, according to a transport entrepreneur.
Top leaders will address the mass assembly at Khula Manch Sunday afternoon. The Maoists are also expected to announce further protest programmes against the President’s move today.
Meanwhile, Maoist spokesperson Dina Nath Sharma said the rallies and the mass assemblies would be peaceful and refuted speculations that the Maoists had plans to defy the prohibitory orders
