Two vehicles were torched in Makawanpur District of Province No. 3 on May 27 after Netra Bikram Chand-led Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist-Chand) called for a nationwide bandh, reports The Himalayan Times. A mini-truck was burnt down at Chaukitole in Hetauda Sub-Metropolitan City-1 along the Tribhuvan Highway. The vehicle has been completely destroyed in the incident. Likewise, a bus was burnt in Khani Gaun, Thaha Municipality-1 in northern Makawanpur.
Meanwhile, the nationwide bandh called by CPN-Maoist-Chandon May 27 has a slight impact on Kathmandu Valley, reports The Himalayan Times. However, impact of the bandh is relatively more outside the Valley. According to Police, lesser public vehicles are plying than usual and educational institutions have remained closed in Kathmandu due to the shutdown. Effects of the bandh have been felt around the country after multiple blasts in assorted locations of the capital city claimed four lives on May 26 on the eve of the shutdown.
