KARNALI: The Nepal-Khanal faction of ruling CPN-UML has formed a parallel committee in Karnali Province.

The disgruntled faction has appointed Yubaraj Gyawali as in-charge, Prakash Jwala as the chairman and Niraj Acharya as secretary of the Province.

Similarly, Yam Lal Kandel, Gulab Jang Shah and Dharma Raj Regmi are in-charge, chairman and secretary of the Province from the Oli faction.

The Nepal-Khanal faction is preparing to form parallel structures in all the districts in the Karnali Province.

With the intra-party rift taking a new height, the Nepal-Khanal faction has intensified the formation of the parallel committees of the party.

The Supreme Court on March 7 restored erstwhile CPN-UML and CPN (Maoist Center) scrapping their unification as the Nepal Communist.
