1. The past month – after the Constituent Assembly expired on 28 May – saw only one limited collective interaction between the four major political actors of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M), Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (UML) and the United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF).
2. The month of June witnessed a significant reduction in the disruption of operational space for Basic Operating Guidelines (BOGs) Signatories in comparison to May, when operational space in many areas of the country was closed down amidst bandhs, protests and clashes between activist groups with conflicting demands for federal structuring in the constitution drafting process.
3. As noted in the May Update, a wide range of groups with conflicting demands over federal state restructuring intensified protest programmes across much of the country, most acutely in the Far West Region.
4. With the formal split of UCPN-M on 18 June, there have been instances of competition and tensions between both UCPN-M and the newly formed Communist Party Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist).
5. In the press statement released by MoHA on 3 July, it has highlighted that the two day INSARAG meeting provided clear guidance to the partners and Government of Nepal (GoN) for building and strengthening Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) capacity in the country.
6. According to the National Seismological Centre, an earthquake measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale shook Pokhara with an epicentre on the border between Thumkodanda and Namarjung VDCs in Kaski District on 9 June. The majority of the residents in Pokhara felt the quake and evacuated buildings due to the fear of aftershocks and further damage.
7. Two accidental fires in Banke left 246 families homeless and destroyed a large number of properties. Altogether, the fires claimed one life and seriously injured three people in Matehiya and Indrapur VDCs on 12 and 15 June.
