The Maoists formally unveiled 'People's Volunteers Bureau' on Tuesday. Standing Committee member of the party, Netra Bikram Chand is the coordinator for the Bureau.
At a press meet held at the party's central office at Paris danda today, the party claimed that the Bureau will work for peace, new constitution, development works and people's security in the country.
"The motive of setting up the Bureau is not to support the party's strategy of people's revolt, as it has been believed from outside", said Chand. The party has a target to mobilize about 500,000 youths under the Bureau in future. According to Chand, the Bureau will also be mobilized for reconstructing the physical infra-structures that were destroyed during the conflict.
The 10-member new unit of the party includes politburo members Shakti Bahadur Basnet and Devendra Poudel, YCL coordinator Ganesh Man Pun, central members Uma Bhujel and Raju Khadka, among others.
However, central office bearers of the party were not present at the press meet.
