Reports say there have been clashes between security personnel and Maoist insurgents at Pili of Daha VDC in the remote, northern district of Kalikot on Sunday.

According to preliminary reports, clashes took place after the insurgents attacked a road construction task force of the Royal Nepalese Army. The task force had been deployed at Pili – which lies along the under-construction Surkhet-Jumla highway– only a few days back.

Security sources in mid-western town of Nepalgunj said the clashes started at around 5:30 p. m. and were still continuing till late in the night.

Details are still awaited.
