Gandaki, Baglung, Baglung, Ward 2

A bomb disposal team of the Nepal Army has defused a bomb planted at Purano Bus Park of Baglung Municipality-2 on Monday night. An unidentified group had planted the bomb in front of a business firm of local resident Umesh KC. The locals had informed the police after seeing a suspicious object there. Spokesperson at the District Police Office, Bishworaj Singh Thapa, said investigations into the case were on about the group responsible behind the terror. Similarly, a bomb was also exploded at Dhawalagiri Chowk of Baglung Municipality-2 last night. It is suspected that the bomb might have been exploded by the cadres of the Netra Bikrm Chand led CPN Maoist. The Chand-led CPN Maoist has enforced a strike across the nation today. Likewise, normal life of Dhawalagiri including Baglung district has been affected from early morning today due to the strike. Vehicular services have remained off the road while the markets are also shut due to the strike. RSS बागलुङ नगरपालिका–२ स्थित पुरानो बसपार्कमा गएराती अज्ञात समूहले राखेको बम नेपाली सेनाले निष्क्रिय पारेको छ । व्यवसायी उमेश केसीको गाडी ‘शोरुम’ अगाडि बम लेखिएको शंकास्पद वस्तु फेला परेपछि स्थानीयवासीले प्रहरीलाई खबर गरेका थिए । ‘हटकेस’मा विष्फोटक पदार्थसहित भेटिएको वस्तु बम नै भएको पुष्टि भएपछि तत्काल निष्क्रिय पारिएको जिल्ला प्रहरी कार्यालयका प्रवक्ता विश्वराजसिंह थापाले जानकारी दिए । बम कसले र किन राखेको भन्नेबारे अनुसन्धान भइरहेको उनको भनाइ छ ।
