JAJARKOT: Cadres of the Biplav-led outlawed faction assaulted cadres of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) at Barekot rural municipality of Jajarkot district.

Cadres of the outlawed faction have issued a stern warning that they would not allow ruling NCP cadres to enter the Barekot area, according to Superintendent of Police Shyam Bahadur Khatri.
