Re: 'Jugular' (#210). The significance of the Maoist blockade is that at last Kathmanduites are feeling the pain that the rest of the country had to go through for the past eight years, especially in western Nepal. The media also seems to be biased in the reporting because all it is interested in is bombs, bullets and battles. The hardships of the people of western Nepal were often ignored. So Kathmandu now knows what it feels like.
