Maoists postpone blockade

Prerana Marasini

KATHMANDU: The Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) on Tuesday decided to postpone the airport blockade it had called on November 10.

“The airport blockade has been postponed for now,” Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” told reporters after a delegation of ambassadors and diplomats requested him to do so.

Though air transportation would be “allowed” on November 10, the party is firm on blocking road transportation to and from Kathmandu. As part of their second round of agitation against President Ram Baran Yadav’s “unconstitutional” step to reinstate the then Army chief Rookmangud Katawal in May, the Maoists started a 12-day protest programme on Sunday, which includes the blockade on November 10.
