It seems that - at least during/after the Int'l Struggle Day of the Working Class (aka MayDay) - Nepal will face possibly a new (some are saying "the final") massive escalation of the political power struggle between the current "ruling" forces - NC, "C"PN(U"ML") etc., incl. the police, secret agency and army - and the UCPN-M (still the strongest political party, but since last year in opposition)!

Just follow today's headlines in the Nepali media (here, just as an example, the TelegraphNepal):
☞ Mayday: Deployment of Army likely
☞ Kathmandu turns RED, Maoist’s cadres enter from all corners
☞ Govt plans massive use of Police force to face Maoist challenge
☞ (Maoist) PLA also on High Alert, Panic increasing


Updated (4.29) reports by NepalNews:
☞ UCPN (M) urges govt not to suppress their 'peaceful protests'
☞ Maoist cadres continue to enter Kathmandu in large numbers
☞ Govt will maintain law and order at any cost...
