China has put heavy pressure on Nepal to stop any activities held by the Tibetan exiles in the Himalayan region. The authorities have foiled the election at the mid-way and seized ballot boxes saying they have received strong instructions from the Prime Minister's office on Sunday (October 3, 2010) not to allow the voting to continue "at any cost". The voting was in progress in Bouddha, Svoyambhu and Jawalakhel areas.
