A team six experts has been roped in for scanning the suspected burial sites. NHRC officials said excavation of the burial site will start only after the primary physical examination of the area concludes.
The team of forensic experts, doctors and the human rights activists reached the site for further studies at around 11:30 today.
In the meantime, the lawmakers have asked the government to seal the Alle area inside the Shivpuri National Park immediately to ensure that proofs are not obliterated.
Lawmakers, Khim Lal Devkota, Lila Mani Pokhrel and Malla K. Sundar urged the government to seal the area and provide necessary help for the investigation process. They also asked the Speaker for a ruling to the government for this purpose.
The NHRC, OHCHR-Nepal and other human rights activists had reached the forest Wednesday on suspicion that some disappeared citizens from the Bhairavnath Battalion of the Nepal Army were buried here after being killed.
Meanwhile, the Nepal Army has expressed its commitment to extend possible support in the investigation matters in the area.
In a statement on Friday evening, NA said it was ready to help any official authorities in the investigation process and urged the investigation authority to take into account of the wildlife conservation issues while carrying out excavation works. nepalnews.com ia Dec 21 07
