Second stage PLA verification to complete in two months
A meeting of Joint Monitoring Coordination Committee (JMCC) comprising the representatives of United Nations Mission In Nepal (UNMIN), government and CPN (Maoist) today decided to complete the second stage verification of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) within the next two months.
The JMCC members said after the meeting that the second stage verification would speed up now on. The verification process had been frequently obstructed in the past.
Amidst growing pressure from the Maoist side, the government had last week decided to release the monthly allowance of PLA men. The UNMIN monitors are currently carrying out second stage verification at the 5th PLA division in mid-western Rolpa district.
UNMIN had earlier completed second stage verification in the 7th PLA division in Kailali and the 1st division in Ilam district. nepalnews.com mk Oct 15 07
