seven-month course — both sets will also have an additional three-month
“bridge courOver the past five years, there has been a gradual reduction in the
number of combatants in the cantonments. About 32,000 individuals had
initially registered in the camps in early 2007. But the United Nations
Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) verified only 19,602 of those as combatants and
disqualified over 4,000 persons for being under-age or joining the
Maoist Army after the ceasefire began. The “disqualified” were
discharged from the cantonments in early 2010.Six years after the formal

integration of a little over 1,450 former Maoist fighters into the Nepal
Army (NA). The cantonments where the former combatants of the Maoist
People’s Liberation Army (PLA) resided have closed down, Maoist weapons
are under state control, and the PLA has ceased to exist ending the
state of “one country, two Armies”.In the past few weeks, the final
phase of the integration process saw 1,388 combatants who had opted for
integration pass through the NA-conducted selection examinations. se”
