Talking to media persons, AISC member Barshaman Pun said that the meeting decided to determine the ranks of the combatants to be integrated into the army based on the level of their education at the time of UNMIN verification and that of now, among others.
The families of those who died while in the camps would be given Rs. 250,000 each, he said.
Pun said that the Ministry for Peace and Reconstruction would prepare a separate package for the disabled and enfeebled combatants as the general package did not include them.

Asked about the rank determination of the combatants, Dr. Mahat said that Nepal Army would determine the rank as per the prevalent laws, norms and standards governing it.
He said that the committee would take the UNMIN verification record as the basis for the post adjustment of the combatants living in the various cantonments across the country.
The plan allows for a maximum of Rs. 900,000 in compensation for the combatants choosing rehabilitation and retirement.
It also envisions giving skills training for the ex-combatants.
