Nepal: The political deadlock continues in Nepal. Some senior officials of the government have been arrested in a crackdown. The Home Minister's personal secretary is among the officers arrested for rallying against the King.
Meanwhile, the country is bracing for what could be the biggest pro-democracy rally yet in Kathmandu on Thursday.
The plan calls for people to break the security cordon thrown by the armed police and the army around the city and march onto the palace.
Kathmandu is already rife with reports of the authorities planning to declare a state of emergency.
Meanwhile, bank staff, hotel employees and casino workers have joined the strike against the king.
International diplomats in kathmandu say they are very concerned
An official at the US Embassy, James Moriarty said, "The worst thing that could happen could be a messy abdication, collapse of the state, abdication of the king. And you don't want him sort of hanging onto a helicopter wheel and leaving this place like that. You want to work things out."
