Nepal police clear border blockade by force

Описание: Nepal police on Monday baton-charged scores of protesters who had blocked a key Indian border checkpoint, creating crippling fuel shortages, a regional party member at the scene said.
"Police beat up demonstrators this morning and burned down our tents, forcibly opening the border to allow trucks to move across," said Shiva Patel, general secretary of the regional Sadbhawana party, which participated in the blockade.
