KATHMANDU, July 3: A meeting of the Central Committee of the CPN (Maoist Center) has begun in the capital. The Maoists, who held their eighth general convention last December, have not been able to elect any office-bearers other than the chairman. Secretary of the Central Office, Shree Ram Dhakal stated that the meeting of the Central Committee has started at Nepal Academy in Kamaladi.
