They also have held a march holding torches in their hands in the evening.

Talking to the human rights activists that have been scared by the provision made in the four-point deal the UCPN-Maoist has reached with UDMF for withdrawing the criminal cases, Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai yesterday has said that he would set up ‘Truth and Reconciliation Commission’ following the Comprehensive Peace Agreement to bring the perpetrators of human rights violence to justice.
In a memorandum submitted to Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai on Friday, Members of the Women Caucus of the Legislature Parliament have demanded to include at least 33 per cent of women in his cabinet and all the constitutional bodies and the National Planning Commission (NPC). Vice-chairman of NPC and some its members have quit the office paving the way for the prime minister to appoint the persons of his choice.
In a meeting held yesterday, UCPN-Maoist and UDMF leaders have agreed on adjusting the ministerial portfolios going beyond the previously agreed upon for accommodating the wishes of all leaders and paving the way for Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai to expand his cabinet soon.
