In view of rising incidents of violence in recent days, the Ministry of Home Affairs has instructed its subordinate units to heighten security for Sunday’s vote while bringing in forces from the provinces where the polls are scheduled for June 14.
The ministry directed the district administration offices to review their security plans after a CPN-UML activist, Kul Bahadur Tamang, was killed in a clash between the supporters of the UML and the CPN (Maoist Centre) in Dolakha on Tuesday night.
“We are concerned about the killing and violent clashes. We have asked our units to do their best to thwart such clashes and beef up security,” said Bal Krishna Panthee, spokesperson for the Ministry of Hone Affairs.
