The United Nations mission in Nepal will be extended after discussions between Ban Ki-moon and Nepal’s Maoist prime minister Pushpa Kamal Dhala "Prachanda", foreign minister Upendra Yadav and ceremonial president Dr Ram Baran Yadav. The extension period has not been confirmed.
The UN has allotted $10 million for the reintegration and other peace measures. Former prime minister Girija Prasad Koirala’s Nepali Congress party has held up the formation of a special committee that will have the herculean task of integrating the Maoists’ People’s Liberation Army with the Nepal Army within six months by refusing to join it in its present form.
