NA men defuse bomb planted to obstruct Dahal's campaign
DOLAKHA/KAVRE, OCT 30 -
A bomb disposal team of Nepal Army defused a bomb planted at Charange along the Puspalal Marg in Dolakha on Wednesday. The bomb was planted to obstruct UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Puspa Kamal Dahal's election campaign in the district.
Police recovered posters of CPN-Maoist urging the public to boycott the November polls from the scene. CPN-Maoist district secretary Prem Darnal, however, said that the party had only called for a peaceful strike in the district. "I am trying to know the fact about bomb rumours," he told to eKantipur.
The strike was called to disrupt Dahal's campaign in Dolakha. Local administration said that the UCPN (Maoist) chief will now fly into the district on a chopper.
Locals said that roads were obstructed in various places including Khawa of Jiri, Biruwa, Bhirkot and Sisneri by falling trees. Police had cleared the road since early this morning.
