Nepalese armed police patrol the main supply route of Nagdhunga road on the outskirts of Kathmandu December 23, 2004. Nepal's Maoist rebels said on Wednesday they would block two of the three main highways leading to the capital, raising fears of another serious disruption of supplies to Kathmandu. The rebels, fighting to topple the constitutional monarchy and establish communist rule, successfully cut off the hill-ringed capital from the rest of the country for a week in August, choking it of food and fuel supplies.
