one of the hotbeds of the decade-long Maoist insurgency that left behind a bloody trail of death and devastation and pushed the country decades back in terms of development, is quite busy with development works these days.Leaving behind its blood-soaked past, in which 668 people died, 505 got abducted and 162 got disabled during the war, this Mid-Western district, where Nepal Army conducted Khara and Sisne search operations and where the Maoists’ landmark Chunwang meeting took place, is trying hard to catch up with the lost decade pretty fast, if not on war footing.
