'India to assist PLA cantonments'
By Binod Tripathi
BHARATPUR, June 18 - Indian Ambassador Shiv Shanker Mukherjee on Monday said that the Indian government would provide necessary equipment for the Maoist PLA cantonments.
"I found that the Nepal government has completely neglected management of the Maoist camps," Mukharjee told PLA combatants after an inspection of the 3rd division PLA Cantonment Headquarters at Chitwan's Shaktikhor, adding "It is the Nepal government's responsibility to manage the necessary physical infrastructure for the combatants."
Stating that he was there to inspect whether the tents provided by the Indian government were being used properly or not, Mukherjee urged the government to immediately pay attention to the habitation of the fighters.
India had provided 50 tents for the Shaktikhor camp.
"I found that the number of tents we had provided were grossly inadequate," the Indian envoy said, "The Indian government is ready to make arrangements for proper quarters to stop the rain."
According to division spokesperson Abiral, the Indain ambassador had handed his assurance to take the necessary initiative once a written request for assistance was submitted to the Indian Embassy.
601 PLA combatants are currently stationed at the four camps including three satellite camps in Chitwan.

Although Prachanda will appreciate the comments of the India envoy because he is not James F. Moriarty, people in Nepal will make out there is not yet a royal road to Peace and Security in Nepal.
