A report brought out by an election observation group has stated that security during election time remained inadequate and that the Maoists were involved in violent activities far more than any other party.
Releasing its preliminary report on Sunday, Democracy and Election Alliance Nepal (DEAN) said that the pre-poll violence resulted mainly because of poor security arrangement.
Though the election concluded in a peaceful manner, the election campaigning of the political parties was very limited due to security problems, DEAN said.
30 people had been murdered, 81 people abducted and 890 people injured in the different part of the country till the election date.
The report also pointed out that majority of the complaints of irregularities on the election day were made by Nepali Congress and CPN-UML against the Maoists and Madheshi Janadhikar Forum.
On the election day (April 10), four people had lost their lives, 112 people injured and eight others abducted in different districts.
DEAN had deployed 9393 election observers on short-term and long term basis.
DEAN officials informed that the final report would be made public within a month. nepalnews.com kp Apr 20 08
