Distribution of Card to Ex-Combatants Delayed

Rolpa/December 1

The combatants of fifth division, Dahaban are yet to get their identity cards even three days after completion of the categorization.

Secretariat member Singh Bahadur Shrestha said the delay was due to load shedding and disruption in chance to use email and internet.

Shrestha said only 1,100 cards have been ready though the work began soon after the completion of the categorization process.

The categorization team is heading back after handing over the identity cards of 2,227 former combatants of the Dahaban cantonment to joint-commander Raj Bahadur Budha 'Abinas'.

Jwar Memorial Brigade, Gairigaon Tila, Sunil Memorial Brigade Dahaban, Mangalsen Memorial Brigade Masina Ughan, Deergha Memorial Brigade Sangram Dang are comprised in the fifth division, Dahaban.
