The UN Security Council will most likely take a vote today [see UN video] on Nepal. This is what the President of the Security Council, the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation, Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, told the media in New York City on Jan 22. Meanwhile, in Lahan more [at least 3] people were killed [toll reaches 5, added Jan 23] and the situation is tense there. The government has promised to probe the Lahan incident and have announced a high-level comission to that effect. Meanwhile, transporters have called off-their strike after the government accepted their demands. In other three seperate developmnets, journalists were assaulted.
