The Special Committee on Supervision, Integration and Rehabilitation of Maoist combatants on June 2 decided to appoint 120-member surveyor’s team deploy them to the cantonment sites for regrouping of the Maoist combatants, reports Kantipuronline. The experts team that will “immediately” be hired by the Special Committees Secretariat will be divided into three groups each comprising 30 personnel and deploy them to seven major and 21 satellite cantonments sites to conduct orientation about the integration, rehabilitation and voluntary retirement package.

A meeting to be held on June 5 would decide the time-bound calendar for regrouping and commencement of the integration and rehabilitation. The cantonment commanders would now be reporting to the Special Committee about their progress. “We will expedite our attempts to complete the peace process as per the spirit of the five-point agreement,” said Maoist Standing Committee member Barsha Man Pun, also a member of the Special Committee.

Reports indicate that though the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) expressed their commitment in public to camp all the combatants and arms used to provide security to Maoist leaders in third division in Shaktikhor, it has not yet been implemented in practice. Only 32 combatants – five on last June 5 and 27 on June 7 - have only been brought back to Shaktikhor division. Similarly, merely two dozen weapons they have been using have been entered into Shaktikhor cantonment. Last week, the Maoist had decided to keep 106 combatants and 92 sets of weapon deployed for the security of Maoist leaders in Shaktikhor camp. But now, only the combatants and weapons deployed for the security of Maoist Chairman Prachanda have been brought. Talking to journalists reaching the cantonment, Santu Darai Parwana, a leader of combatants, declined to say where the combatants and their weapons are. He, however, informed that the combatants and weapons have been sent to different cantonments.

Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) leader Barshaman Pun ruled out the possibility of handing over the arms before the integration of PLA combatants, Kantipuronline reports. He said arms and other objects belonging to combatants would be submitted to the Special Committee along with their integration. "It is meaningless to integrate combatants after they are stripped of arms and belongings. All things stored in cantonments will be handed over along with their integration," he said. He refuted media reports that the Maoists are submitting arms. Stating that the arms used earlier to provide security to party leaders' are being collected, Pun said remaining combatants who are deployed for the security of leaders and their arms would reach camps before the party's central committee meeting this month. Pun briefed the combatants on the proposal about their integration. He said that the combatants want 10,000 of them integrated and another 10,000 rehabilitated.

Defence Minister Bishnu Poudel claimed on June 11 that integration of PLA fighters would take place strictly adhering to the Nepal Army’s (NA) integration criteria, Himalayan Times reports. Poudel said since Unified Communist party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) have in principle agreed to the NA integration proposal, Army integration would be carried out as per NA’s established criteria. “Maoists have lost moral grounds to dispute over criteria and ranks as they have already agreed to accept NA’s chain of command,” Poudel said. He however said a certain level of flexibility could be considered regarding combatants’ age, marital status, academic qualification and trainings while integrating them in the National Army. Ruling out any prospect of integration of Maoist combatants in bulk, Minister Poudel said, “Bulk integration and setting up a separate unit of the combatants is not possible.” Army integration will take place only by maintaining professionalism in the NA, he added. He also said there is no logic in the argument that the combatants would not hand over their weapons before the new constitution is drafted and called on Maoists to submit their arms to the state before August 31. Minister Poudel further said the Government is committed to make the national Army an inclusive institution but added that the demand put forth by Madhesh parties that bulk recruitment from the Madheshi community is impossible to meet.

A group close to UCPN-M, the Upper Karnali Struggle Committee, has warned to protest again if the Government awards the construction contract of Upper Karnali hydropower project to the Indian company GMR. The struggle committee organised a protest assembly in Paltada of Baitadi on June 13 and urged the Government not to issue the construction contract to GMR. GMR is the company which prepared the Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the project. It is not necessary to provide the construction contract to the company which prepared the DPR, said Dharmendra Bastola of the struggle committee. Bastola is also a politburo member and Seti Mahakali region in charge of UCPN-M. Claiming no hydropower project can be completed without support of the locals, Bastola said, we will not allow any foreign company to invest in Upper Karnali. This project should be constructed with Nepali investment as it is also one of the cheapest hydropower projects, Bastola argued. He also condemned the Government plans to deploy Nepal Army soldiers at the project site and warned of protest against the plan. Locals of the area had vandalised and torched GMR office a few months ago destroying property worth millions. The ongoing DPR preparation work has been stalled after the vandalism. Earlier, Energy minister Gokarna Bista had informed lawmakers at a parliamentary committee meeting that the Government was planning to resume the DPR preparation work of Upper Karnali by deploying NA soldiers for security if required.

The NC leader Gopal Man Shrestha on June 19 said if the UCPN-M fail to make concrete progress in the peace process as agreed in the five-point deal by mid July, his party would lay claim to the Government leadership, according to Kantipuronline. Shrestha said, “If the Maoists make progress, NC would be ready to accept a national consensus government under Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s leadership. But if they fail to do so by the end of Ashad, NC would come forward to claim the government leadership.” He added that unlike what the District Presidents’ assembly has recently called for, the party leaders are doing internal homework to claim the Government leadership after July 15. Shrestha also claimed that NC is ready to accept rotational leadership with the Maoists in two phases--the peace process will be concluded in the first phase and general elections would be held in the second phase. “NC is ready to let the Maoists lead the Government in the first phase provided they make progress in the peace process. In that case, NC would be leading the government in the second phase and hold general elections. But if the Maoists delay the peace process, we take the leadership in the first phase,” said Shrestha.
