The Maoists were going to Sindhupalchowk to take part in a mass meet on Thursday, after the declaration of the people�s government in Ramechhap. The army patrol took control of the five people after discovering that they possessed grenades and explosives, and when they tried to arrest a dozen more rebels, hundreds of supporters had shouted slogans against them. The army was ordered by the Headquarters to arrest the person(s) with explosives and hand it over to the police. After holding all the 600 people the army reached an agreement with the Maoist team and started to release all the people holding only a single person named Muktinath Gautam, the local Area Secretary of the Maoists. According to an eyewitness there had been light scuffle between the army personnel and the rebels immediately after the explosives were seized. _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
