Writ challenges PLA recruitment

A writ petition has been filed at the Supreme Court Thursday challenging the fresh recruitments being conducted by the People's Liberation Army (PLA).

Advocates Sri Krishna Subedi, Tanka Raj Aryal and Ram Krishna Kafle, who are associated with INHURED International, a human rights group, filed the writ petition, stating that the PLA recruitment is against the comprehensive peace process (CPA) and demanding court order to stop the recruitment process.

A similar case filed by INHURED International against the new recruitments in Nepal Army is awaiting the apex court verdict.

The PLA commander Nanda Kishor Pun 'Pasang' has said recruitment process would not stop unless the NA does the same.
