KATHMANDU, July 13: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) has put undue pressure on a doctor of the National Trauma Center to issue disability certificates even to those ex-Maoist fighters who are physically fit.

Up to Rs 12,000 will be provided monthly to each of the disabled Maoist fighters as allowance, according to MoHA.
