The government has directed all four security agencies to stay on high alert in the wake of nationwide protests launched by the Unified CPN (Maoist).

A marathon meeting of the Council of Ministers held in Singha Durbar Tuesday afternoon arrived at the decision to put the security mechanisms on high alert.

Chief of Army Staff Chhattraman Singh Gurung, Inspector General of Armed Police Force (APF) Sanat Kumar Basnet, Inspector General of Nepal Police Ramesh Chand Thakuri and National Investigation Department (NID) chief Ashok Dev Bhatta were also invited at the cabinet meeting.

At the meeting chaired by Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal, the security chiefs were asked to take necessary measures to control any critical situation during the Maoist protests, it is learnt.

Meanwhile, communication minister and government spokesperson Shankar Pokharel, who left the meeting early, told reporters that the government had concluded that the Maoists were violating the peace accord. He added that the government would be forced to deploy army if the Maoist protests took a violent turn.

The Maoists declared nationwide protest movement beginning November 1 as part of their campaign to restore 'civilian supremacy'. The Maoist party has announced plans to picket Singha Durbar with a crowd of 100 thousand people and choke the capital valley by enforcing a blockade, among others. nepalnews.com

Nepal has been held hostage by this India for a long time. They are calling the politicians to Delhi one by one and bribing them. Anything India sees Pro Nepal is Anti Indian. Like they did to Gyanendra, they are working to do the same to Maoists. BEcause they saw both as pro Nepali. I am a commoner Nepali. And also not the supporter of Maoists.

The sooner you realize, the better for the nation You are talking like Gyanendra and following his footsteps. The military & police have become your dear friends & people have become your enemy. You are talking the language of Mandeles & their advice has become “Gayatri Mantra for you. It is pity that you have lost faith on people & want to punish them for defeating you in the election. Keep in mind you guys are actually committing political suicide. It is high time that you guys show your greatness by exiting from the government at the earliest. This will pave the way for new understanding among your kind & save the nation from further bloodshed & turmoil. nishedh  - hello peace lover   |165.91.173.xxx |2009-11-03 19:28:22 hello peace lover, so what do you think everytime someone who comes with gun, you want the country to boe their head and let run the govt.
