DEATH FAST CALLED OFF

Kathmandu, 26 Nov.: The conflict-hit Army Police National Struggle Committee (APNSC) has postponed the programme of fast-onto-death to create conducive environment for dialogue with the government.

Committee’s coordinator Surya Bahadur Ghimire said the programme of fast-unto-death started from November 21 was withdrawn by considering the dialogue held with the officials of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

He, however, said that other protest programmes would remain as usual and added the hunger-strike was withdrawn for few days following the request of the Ministry’s officials.

Ghimire said they decided to withdraw the hunger-strike after a dialogue held with the Chief District Officer (CDO) Ratna Raj Pandey of Kathmandu district last night.

The committee has demanded to provide due compensation to the families of conflict-hit among other demands.
