Maoists obstruct Census. KATHMANDU -- Keshav Raj Sharma, Director General of Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) today said that Maoists have interfered with the on-going Census 2001 in the Maoist-hit districts. "In the districts where Maoists have already declared their Peoples Government, supervisors were barred from collecting data owing to the Maoists threat ," said Sharma. However, he also said that most of the supervisors and enumerators were welcomed by the local politicians and people in those districts. But according to our correspondents, supervisors who were prevented from collecting data and enumerators, who are selected for the second phase of the Census, were threatened and asked to leave almost all the VDCs of Jajarkot and Kalikot districts. "I admit that negligible number of enumerators who have reached the affected districts have been threatened to leave or face the consequences by the rebels, but majority of them will start works in accordance with the schedule, " said Sharma Maoists have said that they themselves will carry out the Census in the districts where they have already declared their Peoples Government. A Maoist source said that the rebels themselves have already conducted the Census in most of the districts where the Peoples Government has been declared. * * * * Your use of Yahoo!
