Following the decision of the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Home Affairs communicated to all 77 district administration offices and requested them for the records of the martyrs.
The list of martyrs was published in the gazette based on the records obtained from the 77 districts, said Prime Minister Dahal’s press expert Manahari Timilsina.
Along with this, the citizens who lost their lives due to action from both the state and the then rebel side during the 10-year-long armed conflict have been recognized as national martyrs.
This will also allow the families of national martyrs to seek compensation, reparation and honour from the state.
