India to help Nepal to rehabilitate Maoist combatants

Kathmandu, May 5 (ANI): India is likely to offer help to Nepal to rehabilitate Maoist combatants deployed in the cantonments.
The offer includes vocational training courses, Kantipur Report quoted an Indian daily. About 30,000 combatants are currently living in 28 cantonments and being monitored by the United Nations Mission in Nepal after they had laid down their arms in the run up to the recent Constituent Assembly elections.
“Training 30,000 men would be a small, but significant goodwill gesture toward the people of Nepal. Details of how and where to train these people will be worked out in consultation with the Nepalese government, the newspaper quoted External Affairs Ministry sources, as saying.
This offer from India came after China’s announcement to lay a railway line till the Nepal border.
According to the newspaper, India is also likely to announce the construction of an oil pipeline from Barauni Refinery in Bihar to Raxaul on the India-Nepal border to replace the existing arrangement of sending tankers that carry crude from India.
Although the Indian Oil Corporation and the Nepal Oil Corporation have signed an MoU for the construction of the pipeline from Raxaul to Amlekhgunj on the Nepal side, it is yet to start.
The Indian government’s initial package to Nepal would also include fast upgradation and augmentation of Nepal-India road links, which are presently in bad shape. (ANI)

I think this a quite an welcome move by Indian establishments to resettle the Moiest rebels and help them to be recognised with dignity in the society. This is one the aspects that India should seriously look after, since importance of all other aspects are more or less dependent upon such goodwill gestures. This rebel should be assimilated with present Nepali army contingent, so that they can work in tandem in order to uproot all other unethical groups who are working against the country.

Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly.

What I don't agree with, is India's bad habit of reacting only after the Chinese have made the first (and more effective) move.

Well, we have a several infrastrasture projects in the pipe line with our neiagbouring countries, but the thing is that their proceedings are painfully slow and being depends upon favourable diplomatic ties with sorrounding countries as well as hampered by lower budget allocations. But when china comes in with something new, then it infuse a vigour within Indian establishment(rings the bell to the danger) and Indian leaders suddenly becomes proactive in formulating plan and take several measures to raise the funds in order to speed up the project to contain such chinese move.

But this time, rather then resorting for tit for tat retribution, India taken a completely different stance like this goodwill gesture which will have long lasting effect upon Nepali leadership, which will make those nepali leaders seat and take notice of Indian contribution as well as serious thinking of chinese move like railway link wheather it is to contain India or not.
