PROTEST

Activists of Tarun Dal, a youth organisation affiliated with Nepali Congress Party, blow whistles during an anti-government rally in Kathmandu yesterday. Nepal plunged into a governing crisis on May 28 after the failure to write a new constitution ended in a call for new elections to try again later in the year. The Constituent Assembly elected in 2008 was dissolved after it failed to draft a charter. The assembly’s final deadline expired as political parties failed to resolve disputes over what form federalism should take in the multi-ethnic Himalayan nation
