Bardiya municipalities unite to keep memories of war victims alive

Local and provincial governments can now do their bit to provide relief for victims of the conflict, experts say.

In December 2001, Chaite Lal Chaudhari (25 back then), and his wife Sita Janaki (24 back then) from Barbardiya Municipality in Bardiya district were arrested by the then-Royal Nepalese Army for supporting the then-CPN (Maoist), which was at war against the state. They were taken to the Chisapani Army barracks in the district but were never released.
