KATHMANDU: The CPN-UML’s youth wing Youth Force has announced 1,101-member Kathmandu Valley committee.

A gathering of the UML was held at Karki Banquet in Babar Mahal, Kathmandu, Saturday, to announce formation of Youth Force valley command. The valley-level committee is formed under the leadership of Youth Force’s co-chair Pushpa Shrestha.

Before the event started, Youth Force cadres rallied from Maitighar to New Baneshwor in a show of force.

The UML revived its formerly-dissolved aggressive youth outfit last week as UML Chair Oli was set to leave the prime minister’s residence in Baluwatar.
