Kathmandu, February 20
Two explosions have been reported from Kaski and Jhapa districts as Netra Bikram Chand ‘Biplav’-led Communist Party of Nepal imposed a day-long nationwide general strike on Tuesday.
The party has resorted to protest after police arrested leaders and cadres of the outfit and foiled an event of the party in Biratnagar of Morang two days ago.
A policeman and a journalist sustained injuries in the explosion in Bijayapur, Pokhara of Kaski, according to police.
Policeman Kul Bahadur Khatri and local journalist Ghanashyam Pandey are undergoing treatment at the Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital.
Meanwhile, another explosive went off in Damak of Jhapa district this morning. DSP Deepak Giri says no human casualty or physical damage has been reported.
The bandh, however, did not leave any significant impact in most parts of the country.
