United Nations (UN) arms monitors will start locking up Nepal Army's (NA) weapons at the Chhauni barrack, Kathmandu, from Tuesday, local media reported on Saturday.
A team comprising the UN arms monitors, NA representative and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) will start storing NA weapons in numbers equivalent to the registered weapons of the Maoist's "People's Liberation Army (PLA)", leading website nepalnews reported.
The NA's weapons will be locked in 14 storage containers in the country, according to the report.
The NA's weapons are being locked as per a tripartite agreement (UN, government and Maoists) which was reached earlier.
Second phase verification of Maoist arms and combatants will begin as soon as the storage process completes at the Chhauni barrack.
UN Mission in Nepal had completed registration of Maoist combatants and their weapons a few weeks earlier. Slightly more than 31,000 combatants and 3,500 were registered in seven PLA cantonment sites around the country.
