The CPN-UML, which lost power after the Gen-G movement, has formed a National Volunteer Force targeting young people. Although separate youth and student organizations have been active since the past, the UML is going to form a National Volunteer Force for the security of the party and its leaders.

UML's youth organization, the National Youth Union and the student organization, ANRFSU, are active. But the UML is about to announce a new organization called the National Volunteer Force as an alternative to those organizations to defend the party and its leaders. 

After rallying from various places in the Kathmandu Valley today, the youth and students will reach Karki Banquet in Babarmahal, Kathmandu, and hold an announcement meeting. Chairman KP Sharma Oli will formally announce the force at the meeting.

UML Deputy General Secretary Pradeep Gyawali said that the party is very sensitive about security and is going to form the National Volunteer Force to make necessary security arrangements for its own safety. Although there were differences among the leaders within the UML on the issue of forming the force, Chairman Oli formed a task force under the coordination of leader Mahesh Basnet and formed it.
