From what I hear from nepal, this bandh isnt the usual forced nepal bandhs proclaimed by the maos or the parties.....the industrialists themselves willingly closed down their shops in support. Why would they open their business if they're getting looted everyday by thugs in the street untouchable by law?? Also something else I noted in the pictures from the protest; most of the participants look more mature and intellects; contrast to most of the other protests, where some 16 year kid is burning tires and showing their anger. This protest is more of a frustration cry from the common people......me think!!!!
