Maoist's general strike and security concerns

The Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) has launched an indefinite general strike in the country demanding new constitution and new national government among others since May 2 following a 'unique' May Day mass demonstration. As are common in mass demonstrations of such scale, the risks of attack and murder, bombing, clash among dissenting groups, and panic exist in this strike. The patience of striking party cadres, general public, opposing parties, and security forces are running down. As the days are passing by, there are symptoms that the general strike will be no more 'peaceful' in coming days. Provocative speeches and actions (from all leaders including the government?) rather than call for patience are dominating. So far the security forces have exhibited extremely good professionalism. Much depends upon the striking party leaders' capability to manage the general strike and cadres' perseverance and patience.
