The Communist Party of Nepal ( Unified Marxist-Leninist) (CPN-UML) on Sunday afternoon decided to pull out from the five-member coalition government, Xinhua reported.
  An emergency meeting of the second largest coalition partner, CPN-UML, has decided to quit the government and withdraw its support to the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (UCPN-M) led government with effect from Sunday, local news website myrepublica.com reported, quoting CPN-UML General Secretary Ishwar Pokharel.
  The decision follows CPN-UML's disagreement with UCPN-M over the latter's unilateral decision to sack Chief of the Army Staff (CoAS) Rookmangud Katawal on Sunday.
