Maoists seize godown; obstruct all development projects in Khotang

Day in and day out. The rulers of Nepal continue their acts of horror. This is Democracy, Nepal style. Be prepared, we are going to be a Republic soon and then we will have the cream of things.

Maoists seize godown; obstruct all development projects in Khotang

Giving continuity to their act of capturing public properties, the Maoist rebels have captured six ropanis of land along with the building and godown belonging to Agriculture Inputs Company (AIC) at Phidim of Panchthar district since Friday.

According to newspaper reports, the Maoists captured the building and godown to establish a camp for their peoples’ army.

The building belonging to AIC had been leased out after the office shifted to Ilam on September 17.

The Maoists have set up tents on building premises. Newspaper reports quoted Maoist district in-charge Raman as saying that the AIC building and land was captured because it was quite appropriate for Maoist peoples’ militia to stay until the ongoing peace talks reached decisive turn.

Maoists captured public properties including the office building of Nepal Television regional transmission centre Kohalpur of Banke to establish camps to their militants. However the Maoist leadership remained tight lipped in such issues, which is clear violation of the 25-point code of conduct signed by the government and the rebels and other accords reached with the ruling seven party alliance.

In another report from Khotang, all the developmental projects in the district have come to halt following Maoist obstruction.

According to The Kathmandu Post daily, the projects stopped their activities after the rebels recently wrote them saying, “development without political settlement was meaningless”.

According to District Development Committee, its total budget of 130 million rupees for the development works has been frozen following the Maoist threat not to carry out any development work.

The construction of Diktel-Khotang bazzar and Lamidanda-Aishelkukharka road projects, funded by DFID were also halted due to the same reason. nepalnews.com pb Nov 05 06

Three hurt in blasts in Bara

Nepal, the only country in the world where the innocents get bombed (innocently). All in the name of Democracy. It’s a heaven for terrorists (who are actually in the Government!). Do you see another Afganishtan or Iraq in the making? Don’t go anywhere else…the show has just started in Nepal and see it once again unfold right here, in Nepal!

Three hurt in blasts in Bara

Three people including a seven years old girl were injured in two blasts in Brahmahapuri area of Bara district Saturday evening.

The blasts occurred on the road, almost simultaneously, at around 4:45 p.m., injuring two women and a seven years old girl who were walking on the road, the state-run Radio Nepal said quoting police officials.

The area is close to Bara district headquarters, Kalaiya. A similar blast had taken place near Brahmahapuri early Saturday morning but no casualties were reported in the incident.

It is not known how the blasts occurred. The local Maoist leadership has expressed ignorance over the blasts but local residents said that hundreds of Maoist militias had been staying in the nearby villages over the last few days and they might have left behind the explosives.

The injured persons have been undergoing treatment at a hospital in Kalaiya. nepalnews.com mk Nov 04 06
