Kantipuronline reports that the first day of the Maoist-called weeklong nationwide bandh (general strike), timed to coincide with the municipal polls, began on February 5 affecting normal life across the country.

Normal life was affected across the country on the second day of the Bandh (general strike) on February 6. In the capital Kathmandu, normal life was partially crippled with more vehicles plying on the roads and more shops opening. A report from Pokhara said the effort of SF personnel to get shops to open there failed.

Normal life was also affected in Dhading, Tanahun, Rajbiraj, Nawalparasi, Mahottari, Janakpur and Syangja.
