Life in the Kathmandu Valley got hit on Sunday due to a nationwide strike that Biplav-led CPN-Maoist had announced in its bid to press for food security. With most of the public vehicles staying out of roads, people had a hard time reaching their destinations.
Here’s the impact of the strike, caught in pictures:
With most of the public vehicles staying out of the road in response to Biplav Maoists’ bandh call, many people in the Kathmandu Valley had no option but to march to their destinations.Public vehicles were few and far between. But there was no strict restriction from the enforcers on the movement of two-wheelers, much to the respite of many people in the valley.The Koteshwor-Suryabinayak road wears a deserted look, thanks to the strike. An individual said he had to walk all the way to New Baneshwor from Bhaktapur due to the shutdown. In some cases, rickshaws ferried people to their destinations.
