Nepal’s New Parliament getting ready to replace Monarchy MIL/Agencies/NDTV, Apr 10, 2008. Maya Mirchandani Kathmandu, Nepal: April 10, 2008 – The new trend, new life and new Parliament to take over monarchy by voting, which is to decide the fate of this Himalayan country. The Maoists are more disturbed, they have an eye on Nepal. There is every apprehension of a violent election. And Kathmandu is under a heavy security blanket. But officials said they have no reports of violence or trouble as polling gets under way. But as a tight security measure, almost 75,000 policemen have been deployed around the country. The elections are the first in nine years and come almost exactly two years after Nepal's king was forced to end his royal dictatorship. The poll is likely to mean the end of a centuries-old royal dynasty. Earlier on Wednesday, a bomb blast killed six Maoists in Dang part of the Terai region. And another candidate from the mainstream left United Marxist Leninist party was killed in a town called Surkhet. No one has yet taken the responsibility of the attacks. This situation is very imortant from Indian point of view, China is equally rather more concernd since Maoists are involved.
