Unified CPN (Maoist) besieged Singhadurbar, the country’s central administrative complex, in Kathmandu as part of their second-phase protest against the government on Nov. 12 and 13. The Maoists have been protesting the president’s move to reinstate the then army chief sacked by the Maoist-led cabinet in May earlier this year, and demanding its rectification. They have seized the House demanding House debate on the move.
