Kathmandu, Jan 30 : In the wake of deepening controversy over fresh recruitment in the Nepal Army (NA), former United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) Chief Ian Martin has said that the NA cannot fill its vacant posts as per the agreement.
Kantipur quoted Martin as saying that it would be against the agreement to make new recruitment in the Nepal Army.
He expressed displeasure over the fact that the Nepal Army continued with the recruitment drive instead of discussing the issue with the joint monitoring committee of the United Nations, the Nepal Army and the CPN-Maoist.
