Soldiers.
Nepal without a king has become a police state.
There is an ongoing strike or baandh against fuel hike. Everyone’s protesting, but not only by organising demos and rallies. There is a total ban on public transport. You get jeered at, or may be stones thrown at you, if you are on a public vehicle. Tourists get escorted on a government vehicle. But the good side of it - no traffic jams!
Still, life goes on. Like us, Nepalis have legs. So they walk. The baandh is indefinite.
