Meanwhile, normal life in three Districts
of Kathmandu Valley have been
affected due to a chakkajam
(vehicular shutdown) enforced
by the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified
Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) aligned
Youth Association Nepal (YAN)
for the second day on August
6.YAN, supported by 16 youth
wings of various parties, is
imposing the vehicular traffic
from 6am to 10am in the Valley
since August 5 demanding the
resignation of caretaker Prime
Minister (PM) Baburam Bhattarai
at the earliest to make way
for a new national consensus
government.
The Supreme Court (SC) on August 5
scrapped a writ seeking an order
to the President Ram Baran Yadav
to remove Baburam Bhattarai
and initiate the process for
the formation of new Council
of Ministers. The Court scrapped
the writ saying that there was
no any reason to issue show
cause notice on a complete political
issue at a time when there is
absence of Constituent Assembly
and the Parliament. |
