Advocates of restoring the deposed monarchy waged a general strike on Monday that paralyzed the capital, Katmandu, by closing shops and schools and halting most vehicle traffic. Royalists are demanding a public referendum to decide whether to reinstate the monarchy, a move rejected by other political parties as well as the country’s Maoists. Nepal abolished the monarchy in 2008 and is now struggling to approve a new constitution. - The New York Times
