Just another ridiculous gesture that will only contribute towards bringing down this poor, crippled country even further (if that is possible). NOBODY is getting a good deal in Nepal these days, but if the population knuckles down, works properly, shuns corruption and adopts a more broad-minded approach, things should improve. Carry on with your strikes, lax work ethic, dishonesty and self-serving party politics and Nepal will go down the plug-hole. Piers, Nepal
