Nepal election security

There were no fatal incidences this week but reports of mild to serious injuries have grown in number. Torching and vandalizing campaign vehicles have become the most prevalent anti-poll activity this week. The bandhs called by parties opposing the election have become more frequent and most of the calls have tended to affect normal life and vehicular traffic. In general, while incidences of violence have increased the security situation has not gone out of control. The nature of violence remains spontaneous and sporadic rather than systemic and widespread.

The sole reason for this is lack of proper and efficient intelligence system. Police need to develop efficient intelligence sytem to ward off incidents in a proactive way.
