The United Nation has completed registration and verification of the fighters and storage of weapons of the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) (formerly known as guerrilla), local leading media group's website eKantipur reported on Sunday.

Talking to eKantipur over telephone on Sunday, Kieran Dwyer, spokesperson at the UN mission in Nepal said that the UN team had completed all tasks at all main and sub cantonments Saturday and that UN team was presently compiling a final report regarding the process.

The report will include the number and types of weapons registered and will be submitted to the government and CPN in the next few days, said the UN official.

According CPN deputy commander Nanda Kishor Pun, CPN and UN would soon make public the official number of the CPN fighters and their weapons.

As per the comprehensive peace agreement reached between the ruling Seven-party Alliance government and CPN in November, 2006, the CPN armed force has been confined within the seven main cantonment sites across the country. As part of the peace deal, the Nepali Army will reciprocate the CPN arms lock-up by locking- up the similar number of weapons within the Kathmandu valley.
