Maoists issue ultimatum to thirty five companies
Kathmandu: The labour wing of the Maoist rebels has issued a deadline of Friday to 35 business establishments across the country to shut down.

The All Nepal Federation of Trade Unions (ANFTU) warned 35 businesses to either shut down or "face consequences", media reports said. Some of the newly targeted business ventures involve royal family members as well as American and Indian investors.

President of the ANFTU, Shalikram Jamarkattel, justified the threat on the grounds of what he said was the "persistent indifference towards the rebels' demands", the reports said.

The fresh threat from the rebels comes just a day before Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba leaves for a five-day visit to India.
