More than three years have passed since the decade long armed conflict ended in the Himalayan nation, but the peace process is far from over. One of the biggest obstacles has been to complete the management of People's Liberation Army- the military outfit of the Maoists. Since 2006, thousands of Maoist combatants have been living in the seven main camps monitored by the UN. One of the contentious issues has been to release the 4,000 Maoist cadres who were disqualified as combatants following the UN verification. Among them, 3,000 were minors at the time of the verification in May 2006. It was only a month ago that the Maoists finally agreed to let them go. Naresh Newar from Panos Radio South Asia went to the Maoist cantonment in Sindhuli to cover the story. (15:00)
