The government is planning to provide transportation facilities to people who are stranded in Kathmandu due to the ongoing general strike called by the Unified CPN (Maoist).
According to reports, the Home Ministry is working on a plan to transport people who need to immediately return to their villages in the outskirts of Kathmandu due to some emergency.
The government preparation comes amid reports that many people, including those who were brought into Kathmandu by Maoists to participate in their protests, are heading towards their villages on foot as the transportation system has come to a grinding halt due to the Maoist strike.
Thousands of Maoist supporters have returned to their farms outside the city to plant their seasonal maize crop.But many who are here also wish to return as they complain of having to participate in Maoist demonstration and rallies without enough food to eat or proper place to stay.
Moreoever, some 300 Maoist cadre and supporters are also suffering from various kinds of illnesses such as diarrhea and typhoid after having unhygienic food and water.
