King's property seized

Kathamndu: Blaming the Government for failing to fulfil its commitment to nationalise the properties of the king, Nepal Maoists have begun seizing "royal properties" in Kathmandu. ``Parliament has failed to formulate laws on capturing land belonging to the king, as such the Young Communist League (YCL) will now capture all such land and use it for the public,'' said central committee member of the CPN-Maoist Hitman Shakya. Already under fire for engaging in extra-constitutional activities like holding courts, policing and abductions, the Maoist-affiliated YCL has now announced the fresh campaign. — PTI
