The irregularities were made on the relief amount distributed by the District Administration Office after the state decided to provide Rs. 200,000 to each family of those who had died in the conflict.[break]
The government has provided relief to 481 persons for the first time. Of them, it is found that Rs. 775,000 was found deposited to seven persons´ account without serious study of the conflict affected people.
The local administration has said it will return the extra amount through the Rastriya Banijya Bank.
The relief amount was demanded to return as the conflict victims killed from the state side could not get relief in the past and it was distributed to those killed by ex-rebels, said Chief District Officer of Kalikot Durgadutta Dhakal.
The number of people who died during the insurgency was recorded at 596 in the district though it is found more than the record now. Even non-victims have also been found claiming for the relief rather than real conflict victims.
The administration has distributed the relief without giving information to local Peace Committee, claimed coordinator of the Committee, Daman Bahadur Bam.
The families of those killed from the ex-rebels have, however, released a press statement claiming for relief and warned of protests if they were not provided with the relief.
