The special committee has also decided to provide experts and all sorts of logistical support, as demanded by the technical panel, to accomplish these two jobs. “The technical panel has been asked to submit its report by the next meeting,” said Ghimire.

According to Dr. Ram Sharan Mahat, a Nepali Congress member in the committee, NC members strongly protested the prime minister’s orders regarding the PLA’s participation in the recently held Fifth National Games.
Mahat also said that for the past three months, the NC members have been pressing for the immediate release of the combatants.
