Over 90 Maoists rebels have surrendered to the administration in the last 30 days of the government announcing amnesty and incentives to those who give up rebellion, a report said Thursday, quoting security sources.

Those who surrendered to the security forces and the chief district offices were armed Maoists as well as others involved in various  Maoist activities, reported the Himalayan Times.

The data regarding the surrendering Maoists provided by the Ministry of Home and the Royal Nepal Army Headquarters, however, differ slightly, according to the news report.

“While the army data shows that only 75 people have surrendered till date, the ministry’s data says that 93 people have surrendered already,” the report said.

The government, while offering amnesty, had planned “detention centres” for the rehabilitation of those who surrender. “But the government has not been able to make such plans operational due to a lack of adequate funds,” it added.

“The army had asked for Rs 4 million to form each detention centre, but the government has so far released only a million rupees,” the report quoted unnamed Defence Ministry sources, as saying.

For rehabilitation purpose, the government had planned two “detention centres” – one in Sundarijal, Kathmandu and another in Dhakaltar of Tanahu district.
