Kathmandu, Dec. 25 (RSS): The injured and physically challenged combatants of the people’s war have ended the hunger strike on Monday after a four-point agreement with the Ministry of Home Affairs. The ex-combatants were staging hunger strike in the capital city since December 13.
As per the agreement, Yubraj BK would be released on Monday itself while the treatment of the seriously injured ones would be immediately started. Likewise, initiatives would be taken for the treatment of the injured abroad based on the recommendation of the Nepal Medical Board.
Similarly, the government would bear the entire cost of the ex-combatants incurred during the hunger strike and treatment afterwards while a taskforce would be formed comprising a legal expert and a representative from the Association of People’s War Injured and Physically Challenged Combatants. The taskforce is given the time of three months to prepare its report.
