As the donation drive of the Maoist is still on despite they are trying to join the mainstream of politics, the Nepal Janatrantik Party, which recently announced to raise arms to protect monarchy, has started collecting donations in the far western region.
Businessmen of Nepal and India have also started getting threatening letters asking them cough up hefty sums of money.

A joint meeting of Nepali and Indian police chiefs and businessmen of the Nepal-India border area in the far western region has decided to send patrolling teams to provide security to the businessmen in the border areas.

Reports quoted an official present in the meeting as saying that the Indian side will provide security regularly from 4 pm to 8 pm up to pillar no 7, while the Nepali side will provide security from Mahendranagar to Gaddachauki at the same time.

The security officials urged the businessmen to inform the administration instantly in case of any suspicious activities. The security chiefs also urged them to seek the help of the SSB forces, if needed.

Pawal Kumar Mandal, chairman of the Banbas business group asked for security in Nepal for Indian businessmen.

A few days ago, the NJP sent letters to 27 businessmen of Banbas in India, demanding Rs 50,000 from each of them. The letters had warned that if they did not provide the money they would not be allowed to enter Nepal. Nepali and Indian security officials held the joint meeting after the businessmen appealed to the administration and the police for help.
