The Netra Bikram Chand-led CPN has attacked over a dozen towers of Nepal Telecom and Ncell across the country from Wednesday night till Thursday morning.
The party has set towers on fire and exploded bombs at different places in Arghakhanchi, Dhading, Kapilvastu, Jhapa, Rupandehi, Kailali, Nawalparasi (east), Sindhupalchowk, Dadeldhura, Parvat, Myagdi, Baglung and Banke districts, according to the Nepal Police headquarters.
The party had called a general strike on Wednesday protesting arrest of its leaders and cadres. It resorted to arson and vandalism across the country in the night. Ncell has been harder hit by the party's destructive activities.
One man was killed when the party bombed Ncell headquarters in Nakkhu, Kathmandu on February 22. It has been targeting Ncell towers even after that.
