Price Jumps

Vegetable prices shot up in Kathmandu on Monday as the transport shutdown disrupted supplies to the hill-ringed capital.

Trucks, which bring in supplies from southern Nepal and the plains of India, have largely stayed off the roads since the rebel blockade started.

"We have not received any supplies since the strike started," said Rajendra Saha, a shopkeeper in Kathmandu's biggest vegetable market. "It is too expensive to bring in anything. The truck drivers are charging very high rates."

Cucumbers, which were brought from India, sold at 100 rupees ($1.4) a kilogramme, up from 25 rupees before the strike began, Saha said. "Even at this level, there is very little left."

In western Nepal, vehicles were off the roads while shops, food stalls, schools and cinemas were shut because of a strike called by the Maoists.

"We have witnessed bandhs (strikes) in the past, but never before have we seen such an impact which has led to this undeclared curfew-like situation," a journalist, who did not want to be identified, said in Nepalgunj, a town bordering India.
