BHAKTAPUR, March 4: Defense Minister Bidhya Devi Bhandari said the Maoist combatants should be re-verified.



Since many Maoist fighters have already left camps, the re-verification needs to be conducted to know the real ones, she said talking to reporters in Bhaktapur on Thursday.[break]



It is essential to know the exact number of Maoist army personnel as the government has been providing allowance and ration to them, she said.



"The details presented by the UNMIN do not match now."



Saying that the Unified CPN (Maoist) has been receiving the allowance of those fighters who are not in camps, she accused the main opposition party of violating the peace agreement.
