In an attempt to win hearts and minds during the ?peace period?, the Royal Nepal Army has launched free medical camps in mid-western Nepal?the area most affected by the insurgency. It will provide free treatment to people including those injured during security clashes. Army spokesman Col Dipak Gurung, said they will aid the reconstruction of public property like schools and health facilities. Gurung also said the nearly month-long ceasefire has been peaceful except for minor incidents. He said the security force would return to their barracks only if they received orders from the government. The Maoists have demanded demobilisation and a repeal of the anti-terrorist law before starting peace talks.
