Rukum's Khara is a well-known name of the armed war between the then CPN-Maoist and the state party. Triveni rural municipality ward no. This barrack remained in discussion because of the 'unsuccessful attack' by the then Maoists on the military barracks located at 6 and the consequences that followed.
Besides, many people who know about the Maoist war must have known about this place due to various other incidents of war in and around Khara. It is also believed that after the failure of the then Maoist in the military attacks in 2059 Baisakh and 2061 Chait 25, he got the strength to come to a peaceful path .
The failure of their attack on this barrack has been mentioned by the then Maoist military commander and former vice president Nanda Bahadur Pun in his book 'Yatra Zindagi'. They said that they failed in the first attack of this barrack, which was of strategic importance for the state at that time, because their preparations were not enough and the whole strategy of the second attack reached the army.
This historic salt barrack has now been removed from here . The Nepali Army has refused to give an official opinion about the reason for the removal of the military barracks established around 2055. But it is understood that most of the land on which the barracks are located belongs to the local people and after the army's attempt to buy the land failed, the barracks were finally moved from here .
A local Deepakumari Budha said that they felt bad after the long-standing Nepali army barracks moved from here. "The barracks that have been there for years not only increased the activity here, but also made us feel safe." The news that the army is no longer here suddenly makes us feel bad," she said.
The army has started removing its structures from here since the 15th of June and has reached the final stage of returning the land to the land owner after destroying all the structures on the land, said a military official on condition of anonymity. He added, "Initially, we wanted all this land to be in the name of the army". But things did not work out and we had to leave this place . For this reason, especially at the request of the land owner, we have removed all the military structures on their land along with the buildings.'
When he expressed his suspicion that there may be bombs and ammunition left unattended in this place where two fierce battles have been fought, he claimed that he is going to return the land to the concerned person after making sure that there is no suspicious object.
In this matter, the landowner Kaushila Pun also said that they have faith in the army, which has been nearby for a long time, and said that they have no discomfort in using their land. After the soldiers leave, this place will be empty now. There is a truce, but where did we stop the army,' she added, 'while staying here, we used to get rent for the use of the land, it also cost us money. Now that has also stopped.'
When she understood the soldier's statement that the soldier was going to go back when the price of the land was not agreed upon, Pun admitted that the price of the land was not agreed upon.
In Musikot-1 Salle, which is the district headquarters of Rukum West, there is a unit of the Nepali Army, while in Musikot-4 Bohoragaon there is also a soldier's barrack. Unofficial information has been given that even if the army returns from Khara, the army will keep one building on its land.
Since this barrack of Khara is historical, even though the government tried hard to preserve it, Triveni Rural Municipality Chairman Ganesh KC said that the effort failed. Chairman KC also expressed the opinion that it would be better if the soldier's barracks should be kept and where they should not be kept.
The Nepalese army has now completely moved from the barracks which started to be evacuated from the 15th of June. By the last week of July, all other structures on the person's land have been completely destroyed, except for a chautari and a temple.
After demolishing the original building of the barracks, it is said that now only a small area is in the name of the Nepali Army. And he has preserved a building on the same land. When a military officer who was there requested that the activities taking place here should not be seen as soldiers because there is no order from above, he did not want to give any formal response on this matter.
