Kathmandu NewsLine: The CPN-Maoist is planning to split its youth wing, Young Communist League (YCL), under two separate units — production force and construction force — to support the economic activities of the government, The Kathmandu Post reported.
The daily quoted CA member of the party, who is also the YCL in-charge for the Kathmandu Valley, Chandra Bahadur Thapa, saying it was important to keep the youths employed for the unemployed youth bulge is more than likely to drive the country to conflict again.
"We will bring reform among those [youths] already organised [under YCL] and also bring together those who are not organised yet," Thapa said.
The plan comes after Finance Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai, in his budget speech, unveiled programmes to provide opportunities to over 250,000 youths. YCL is acclaimed to have 500,000 organised members.
Thapa said 'the production force' would be mobilised for industrial work such as running factories and in herb processing, while 'the construction force' would engage in infrastructure development such as building roads and bridges.
