Kathmandu : The Indian government is likely to help Nepal in rehabilitating the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)(CPN-M) combatants living in U.N.-supervised cantonments, reported website eKantipur Monday.
The offer will include vocational training courses to train combatants for employment, the website quoted an Indian newspaper as saying. The combatants numbering around 20,000 have been lodged currently in 28 cantonments and are being monitored by the United Nations Mission in Nepal.
“Training 30,000 men would be a small but significant goodwill gesture toward the people of Nepal,” the newspaper quoted a senior policy-maker in New Delhi as saying.
The website also quoted sources at the Indian External Affairs Ministry as saying that details on how and where to train these people will be worked out in consultation with the Nepalese government.
