As to my knowledge, If people do not protest against reconnecting phone lines very soon, they are not going to be connected fully for at least coming six months. Short period connection within nepal may be increased but full fledged reconnection doesn't look like at least for six months. You know why? The army says this is the strategy to handicapp Maoists. Phone nabhae pachhi maobadi harule attack coordinate garna sakdaina re. Kya strategy? In addition, in the coming six months: No internet connection. No FM news broadcast. No publishing of newpaper report which are not approved by or in contrast of the interest of the King and the army. Detention of anybody who the army thinks do not support the King and his bandwagon. Closures of colleges in the name of politicization. Sacking of bureaucrats who do not praise and be devoted to the King. COnfiscation of properties of political leaders and handing them to senior mandales, ranas and army officers. Disappearance of archeological and hostorical valuables. Killing of civilians in the cross fire between army and the maoists. nakabandi from both sides. people suffering from food and power shortage. Artificial rise in the value of commodities. and many more atrocities. If the maoist can't be controlled within the six months(certainly they can't be controlled) all these restrictions will be renewed. Which wil lead the nation to a full fledged civiil war. and Nepal turned to Somaliya, rwanda or Sudan . Tesai The Economist Nepal is heading towards being a failed state bhanera lekheko ho??
