Maoist politburo meeting begins
A meeting of the Unified CPN (Maoist) politburo has begun in Bhaktapur Thursday morning to discuss the party’s strategy in the wake of latest political developments.

The meeting will discuss protest programmes against the President’s move to block government decision of sacking the army chief and the formation of new government, according to Maoist spokesperson Dina Nath Sharma.

The meeting is taking place at a time when there is a controversy about the Maoist intention towards the constituent assembly and the national army.

The 45-member politburo is considered a powerful body of the party. nepalnews.com May 07 09

CPN (UML) leader KP Oli has claimed there is no alternative to his party leading the next coalition government.

Speaking at a function in Bhaktapur Saturday morning, Oli argued that the past nine months reflected the failure of the Maoist to lead government.

Oli had served as the home minister in Nepal’s first communist government of his party some 15 years ago that also had ruled the country for nine months.

Oli, a staunch critic of Maoists, said his party is ready to go ahead for majority government if the Maoists do not show willingness for consensus government and warned to take strong measures if the Maoists continued to obstruct the parliament sessions.

He also blamed the Maoists for the instability in the country, claiming the government failed to respect the rule of law. nepalnews.com ia May 09 09

KATHMANDU, May 16: The only trolleybus service that provided service between Tripureshwor of Kathmandu and Surya Binayak of Bhaktapur is set to be closed forever.

The trolleybuses that provided services for last 32 years as environment friendly vehicles stopped their services on 2058 BS and resumed the services on 2060 with limited route from Tripureshwor to Koteshwor.

In order to widening BP Highway, 278 poles erected for the trolleybus service were decided to be taken out by Department of Road and thus, the service is found to be closed down.

The service that was established in 2032 BS with the investment of Rs. 40 million provided commuters cheap and dependable vehicular service.

After the service halted in 2058 BS for the first time, Municipalities of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Madhyapur took the responsibility to resume the service and managed to run the buses from 22 Saun 2060 BS again in the rout.

‘After Bhaktapur and Madhyapur Thimi denied to continue their investment Kathmandu Metropolitan City could not further continue the service,’ Executive Officer of the Metropolitan City Dinesh Thapalia said.

As the service could not continue in the area of Bhaktapur and Madhyapur Thimi, both the Municipalities discontinued their investment.

An official at Department of Road said talks in this regard have been carried out among the three Municipalities and other concerned offices and the job of dismantling would be completed within one year.

Head of Trolleybus Service Office Damodar Lama has recommended that the government should maintain the service by taking new approach considering its long service history and friendliness towards environment.

He said the government should run the service in ring-road or in an alternative route(
