Who called the Valley bandh? No idea, say all

Though Kathmandu Valley remained partially closed today, most of the denizens didn't have the faintest idea as to who might have called for the shutdown.
Most of the educational institutions and a few private offices remained closed.
Though work in government offices went ahead as usual, the number of vehicles plying on the roads was very low.
"We didn't receive any report of bandh supporters demonstrating on the streets or picketing," said a police official at the Metropolitan Police Control Room.
"Usually during bandhs, we used to get reports of incidents like bandh supporters taking out rallies or forcing people to get off vehicles. However, the control room phones didn't ring for such reports today," the official added. This reporter asked people from different walks of life on who might have called the shutdown.
"I heard an association of landless people has called the bandh, but, I am not sure," was the reply the reporter got from almost all of them he queried. Media houses also didn't receive any press release on the bandh. This reporter at long last, but unofficially, found out that it was the Nepal Basobas Basti Samrakshan Samaj (settlement protection society), who had called the bandh. No one was able to tell him who the people associated with the organisation were or where they could be contacted. All he came to know was that the samaj had been formed by people who were displaced after the government acquired their land at Tinkune
