At least 14 persons were injured in a clash between Young Communist League (YCL) cadres and the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML)-affiliated Youth Force (YF) in Dhankuta bazaar on August 30, according to The Himalayan Times. The YCL and YF cadres reportedly argued over the issue of collection of donations from vehicles plying on the Koshi highway, the Dhankuta District Police Office said, adding that the dispute flared into a clash. The report added that YF cadres had attacked secretary of the CPN-Maoist''s Dhankuta district office Chetan, accusing Maoist cadres of collecting donations and road taxes by violating an agreement. Chetan was taking part in a meeting of the peace committee, which was discussing the issue of collection of road tax and donation by the Maoists along the Dharan-Dhankuta section of the highway. Taking part in an all-party meeting a week ago, the Maoists had pledged not to collect road tax and donations henceforth. Meanwhile, the Maoist district secretary, Kamal, said in a press release that the party would retaliate the attack on office secretary Chetan.
