The two groups--one led by Sagar Limbu and the other by Lenin Bista--had a minor fight on Wednesday as well.
The ex-PLA fighters have been staging sit-in at the party headquarters since last week, demanding a financial package for them on par with their fellow fighters choosing voluntary retirement.
There were some 30 to 35 police personnel deployed at the site since the ex-combatants began their protest. The strength of police personnel has been increased over security concerns after today´s fighting, DSP Singh said.
