Maoists to launch campaign for republican set up from Chitwan

As the country is moving towards the elections of the constituent assembly, the CPN-Maoist has decided to launch campaign to receive public support in favour of a republican set up in the country.

The Chitwan district committee of the Maoists has decided to launch a two-month-long republican campaign in the district from August 5 to create public support for the constituent assembly polls.

“The purpose of the campaign is to create public support for unconditional constituent assembly polls,” reports quoted Pathik, district chief of the party as saying.

The campaign will commence from Baruwa bazaar of Madi.

According to Maoist sources, the campaign will be on from August 5 to 15 in Madi, from August 17 to September 5 in western Chitwan, from September 6 to 15 in city areas and from September 17 to October 6 in eastern Chitwan and will conclude in Narayangarh.

The Maoists have decided to launch the campaign from Madi, where 39 people, including security personnel, were killed when Maoists detonated a bomb in a passenger bus a year ago.

Maoists are going to that area with different programmes, including job opportunities for the relatives of the deceased and treatment facilities of the injured, Maoist sources said. nepalnews.com pb July 31 06
