At least 40 people were arrested in Nepal on Sunday for trying to enforce a strike called by a breakway CPN-Maoist party faction against “India’s blockade” of major border trading points with the landlocked country.
The strike called by the hardline CPN-Maoist (Biplav), a breakway faction of the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist, had little affect in Nepal’s Capital Kathmandu, though normal life was partially hit in other parts of the country.
