Nearly 3,000 Maoist combatants of the Third Division camp of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in Shaktihkor, Chitwan have left the cantonment site saying the government neglected their camp management.
According to radio reports, some Maoist combatants have started working at brick kilns and road construction works while some are in search of jobs.
They claim they were compelled to leave the cantonment as they did not have basic resources to live in the camps.
Nepal FM, a private FM station quoted Prabakhar, a deputy commander of the Maoist army, as saying that they are holding final talks with the government about the camp management today.
He further said that more PLA men will leave the cantonment in search of jobs.
He even warned that Maoists from all cantonment sites will be compelled to leave if the government did not make necessary arrangements for them.
