Kathmandu, February 15:

The investigation committee of the Seven-Party Alliance today visited the Balaju-based office of the YCL and the Bhaisepati-based shelter of Samana cultural troupe.

“We recorded statements of the team leaders from both places about the police raids on February 6,” coordinator of the panel and UML leader Shankar Pokharel said. He, however, said the Samana cultural troupe today vacated the building of its office.

He said that they would visit Darchula to collect first hand information about the reported clashes between cadres of the Maoist and NC last week.
