By A Staff Reporter, Kathmandu, June 16: The Ministry of Home Affairs has recommended Rs. 1 million as compensation to the family of all six youths, including Naba Raj B.K. of Jajarkot district, who were killed brutally in West Rukum recently.

Proposal in this regard was taken to the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers for a cabinet nod, according to under secretary and joint spokesperson at the Ministry of Home Affairs Uma Kanta Adhikari.  “If the Cabinet decides so, families of the six deceased, including B.K., will receive the relief amount,” he said.
