The meeting has a special significance, as this is the first high-level meeting of the party after their first round dialogue with the government. The sources said that leader Dr. Baburam Bhattarai and former leftist lawmaker and team leader of the three-member dialogue committee, Krishna Bahadur Mahara, are reportedly taking part in the heavily guarded politburo meeting. The venue of the meeting is located about 45 km north from this district headquarters. The meeting has been organised here in connection with the proposed second round dialogue between the government and the Maoists. The latter has proposed this Maoist-controlled remote district in mid-west Nepal as the venue for the next meeting but the government is yet to respond to their proposal. Both the sides are supposed to hold the second round of peace talks probably on September 14. Meanwhile, the local administration has put its security personnel on high alert in view of the 13th district conference of the Maoist-aligned All Nepal National Independent Students’ Union (ANNISU)-Revolutionary, which is taking place on September 10. Another source said that the army men have also been put on high alert for the conference. According to an eyewitness, senior Maoist leaders had entered Holeri in Rolpa via Dang district a week ago. This is the same village where rebels had attacked a police outpost and abducted around 70 policemen in July. (yo) _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
