A private sector television station has reported that the CPN (Maoist) has constituted a three-member negotiation team to hold talks with the government.

Nepal 1 TV—which airs its programmes from New Delhi—reported that the Maoist negotiation team includes party spokesman Krishna Bahadur Mahara, Dinanath Sharma and Deb Gurung.

It did not provide details.

There hasn’t been any formal statement from the side of the CPN (Maoist) as yet regarding their negotiation team.

The Seven Party Alliance government had declared ceasefire last week in response to a three-month-long ceasefire announced by the CPN (Maoist) immediately after the political changes in the country.
