Cadres of the CPN-Maoist led by Netra Bikram Chand attacked the office of Save The Children at Chautara, on Monday. A group comprising six members attacked the Office with petrol-filled plastic bottles. A vehicle (Ba 13 Cha 5914) parked inside the office premises also suffered minor damages, said police. Meanwhile, issuing a press release, the party said that it was compelled to attack the office as NGOs, involved in reconstruction and relief distribution after Gorkha earthquake, started involving in profit making rather than providing services. The press release states, “The party attacked the office after the low-quality relief materials distributed by it compelled people to buy goods from certain shops. They had to pay double the amount and lack of transparency in their logs led to the outburst.”
