Nepal

blockade enters second day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Troops have

stepped up security at key points

 

 

 

An

indefinite blockade by Maoist rebels to try to force the king to end direct

rule has entered its second day and affected transport across the country.

The rebels aim to stop supplies reaching the capital.

Authorities say security is tight on key highways, and there are no reports

of any violence.

Major roads leading to Kathmandu and other key cities

are deserted.

The BBC's Sushil Sharma in Kathmandu says prices of

goods have shot up, but there are no reports of panic buying.

More than 13,000 people have died in 10 years of Maoist

insurgency in Nepal.
