Nepal has came through the decade long civil war started in 1996 AD to 2006 AD between Government and Nepali Maoist as a rebel force. During the war time Maoist used to operate their activities in the remote village where there is no presence of government or there was very rare or minimal presence.
After few years the Maoist became more violent and aggressive then the government decided to mobilize Nepalese Army against Maoist. The Maoist were all over the country but their headquarter area was in Rolpa district. They were practicing war skills and training mostly in Rolpa district and most of the combatants were in Rolpa so they have to move to different places in a secret way that nobody knows.
