CPN-Maoist to alter its decision on strike

Kathmandu, Nov 7 – The poll opposing 33 party alliance led by CPN-Maoist  who declared a 10 days strike(from 25^th kartik to mangshir 5) has decided to correct its decision after national and international community forced them to take off their strike programme.
