strike cripples vehicular traffic in Siliguri Siliguri:
A shutdown by Maoists in Nepal to protest over their demand for the sacking
of Army Chief General Rookmangud Katawal, crippled normal life in Siliguri on
Saturday as trucks got stranded at the border. Movement of vehicular traffic along
the Indo-Nepal borders was suspended. Trucks carrying perishable items were also
stranded. "Vehicles are allowed to enter India from the Nepal side. We now face
a lot of problems staying here as there no facilities for proper food, water,"
said Balwinder Singh, a truck driver. However to avoid any kind of tensions on
the Indian part, the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) an Indian para-military outfit
is on alert on the border. "SSB has taken adequate security measures. Side by
side police and local administration has been informed about the situation and
they are also looking at it," said S. Karmakar, SSB, officer. -Jun
