Even after they joined the interim legislature, Maoists are yet to stop their excesses in various parts of the country.

According to reports, Maoists stopped policemen who were heading to the inner hinterlands of Parbat district to provide security to government teams distributing citizenship certificates from going to the villages.

According to The Kathmandu Post daily, a police team led by inspector Dambar Singh Thapa was stopped at Lunkhudeurali area by a district level leader of Maoists while another police team led by a sub-inspector was stopped at Kurgha village development committee (VDC) by Maoists on Tuesday.

Policemen have returned to the district headquarters after the incidents.

However, Maoist did not protest reinstatement of the police post at Dimuwa in the district on Sunday.

Similarly, a report from Ramechap said Maoist cadres are continuing to threaten commoners in the district and have been sending them to labour camps for different reasons.

The Himalayan Times daily reported quoted Durga Bahadur Shrestha, a local of Khimti as saying that the Maoists sent 45-year-old Maila Tamang of Khimti VDC-9, who was detained on January 3, to a labour camp to prepare a playground for the local Janata Primary School.

Earlier, the Maoists had taken Tamang to Shivalaya Hill located at Khimti-1 to announce the punishment before a gathering of people, he said.

Maoist district member Bigul said Tamang was sentenced to labour punishment by Maoists’ No. 3 area in-charge Sachin, on charge of rape.

In another report, locals of Harneya VDC-9 of Rupandehi district torched over seven dozen huts accusing the Maoists of acquiring land under the pretext of building settlements for squatters.

Maoists had captured some 57 bigas of land, which was actually owned by Ram Janaki temple, and started building huts there last month.

The locals stated that they had to take the step as the Maoists were not helping the real squatters but only providing land and huts to well-off people.

Maoists joined the interim legislature from Monday leaving the politics of power.
