Maoists abducted one Uddhav Bika of Dharapani, Dhaibung-4 in Rasuwa district on the day of Mahanawami-the ninth day of the Dashain festival, the daily reported. Uddhav's whereabout is still not known.
17-yr-old Uddhav's father, Chhetra Bahdur Bika has appealed the media and human rights activists to make efforts for the safe release of his son.
In what seems to be a clear defiance of their supreme leader Prachanda’s declaration of cessation of all armed activities and allow all public activities to take place smoothly during Dashain times, the Maoists have obstructed movements of vehicles in far-western Nepal.
The Maoists have obstructed vehical movement along the Dhangadhi-Dadeldhura highway by felling trees at the Goganpani Gaira section of the road on Monday Morning, Nepal Samacharpatra reported. As a result, thousands of commuters who had gone to their relatives to receive the Dashain Tika have been left stranded in the highway.
Though Dipayal-based units of security forces planned to go to the area to clear the road on Monday, they could not do so owing to the geographical difficulties, the daily said citing security sources. Security forces will be deployed in the area to clear the road on Tuesday, the newspaper added.
