One response to “Nepal Terai Tension: PM Calls For All-Party Meeting”
this meeting should have happened a lot earlier.
for situations like this there should be something like a rapid action team which should be given some limited authority. so that this kind of tentions does not get too much elongated.
whatever has to be done… be it be meeting or whatever… the situation has to be normalized
else the tention will have a prolongated effect, that is for sure.
