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
