PETROLING AND CHECKING INCREASED: HOME MINISTRY

With the date of valley centered agitation of the seven political parties coming nearer, the Home Ministry has said that patrolling and checking have been increased in a drive initiated to make Kathmandu Valley safe.
The additional measures are in view of the possibility of infiltration by Maoists into the Valley, the Home Ministry said.
There will be thorough checking of passengers and vehicles at the Valley’s various entry points and on highways leading to Kathmandu.
The Ministry also urged people to bear with the inconvenience caused by such checking. In case of any suspicious or untoward activity, the Ministry has requested people to call 4211208 of the Ministry’s control room, 4412780 of the Police Headquarters, 105 of the Valley Divisional Headquarters of the RNA or 100 of the Valley Police Control Room in Kathmandu.
In cases outside the Valley, people should contact the nearest security body.
However, leaders of seven agitating political parties have said that the government’s move is an attempt to foil the valley centered movement of the seven agitating political parties that will kick off on April 6.
