Nepal’s on going peace process has gained another mile stone. The registration of the Maoist combatants and their weapons process has concluded in all seven cantonments of the now-disarming People's Liberation Army (PLA) of the Maoists in Nepal.
Now the weapons of the rebels have been duly locked up in special containers that are supposed to be monitored round-the-clock by the UN monitors.
Chief of the UN Mission in Nepal (UNMIN), Ian Martin, has submitted a report on the registration of PLA combatants and arms to the government and the Maoist leaders on 20th Feb. Monday.
However, the numbers of the weapons as well as the combatants are not disclosed. But it is widely speculated that the disclosure will take place after the verification of the arms not locked for keeping security of the Maoists leaders.
It is reported in various media that the representatives of the UN, the government and the Maoists have agreed to disclose the number of combatants and the arms registered by the UN monitors within a week following the verification of arms kept for the security of Maoist leaders.
