An unidentified group hurled a petrol bomb at the Kathmandu-based office of GMR -- an Indian company developing Upper Karnali (900 MW) and Upper Marshyangdi (600 MW) hydropower projects -- on Tuesday evening. Additional Inspector General of Metropolitan Police Commissioners' Office Pratap Singh Thapa said glass panes of the Chakupat-based building were shattered but there was no casualty.
