Landmines laid by the army during the war has claimed another victim: Kameri Ghartimagar of Khumel in Rolpa who died in an explosion while she was cutting grass. The incident happened in the Satdobato Jungle where the army's New Gorakh Battalion had set up a camp and laid mines around its defensive perimeter. Another young girl, Chameli Rokamagar, was seriously wounded. District Police in Rolpa confirmed that the two were caught in an explosion at 3PM while cutting grass in the base perimeter. Kameri's body is still in the forest because it is in a minefield, police said. Despite the peace process, the army has still not cleared mines in Libang and its other bases.
