Some reports said that the Maoists are not satisfied with disqualification of some combatants during the process. During his meeting with Prime Minister Koirala on Thursday, Prachanda is also learnt to have proposed to defer the second- phase verification citing the current "fluid political situation" and the recent promotion of Nepal Army (NA) generals as well as the "politically motivated remarks" made by NA chief Rookmangud Katawal. In the first phase, the UNMIN had registered 30,852 combatants and 3,428 arms in seven PLA cantonment sites and 21 satellite camps.
In the second stage, it is conducting detailed verification to disqualify those who were over the age of 18 on May 25, 2006, and who had joined the Maoist army before that date.
