Protesting that they were not included in the voters’ list collection task, Maoists seized all voters’ name list documents from Salyantar VDC of Dhading, Friday.

According to Chief of District Election Office Khagendra Ghimire, the Maoists barged into the all-party meeting and seized all essential documents.

However, he said that the office was trying to make the Maoists return the documents. Earlier, Maoists also disrupted voters’ list collection in Khalte, Pida and Jyamrung of the same district.

Meanwhile, Maoists captured a tenth-grader Laxmi Adhikari of Achane Higher Secondary School, Khahare VDC of Dhading on the eve of SLC exams.

According to Laxmi’s father Krishna Prasad Adhikari, Maoists took his daughter and other students towards district headquarters Dhadingbesi, to make them participate in the Maoist’s central level meeting at Kathmandu on February 13.

Meanwhile, Maoist leader Ram Bahadur Bhandari informed that he would give directions for the release of the students as forcible capturing was against the party’s rules and policies.
