The government has extended the tenure of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the Commission for Investigation of Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP) by three months.

A Cabinet meeting held on Friday decided to extend the tenure of these two commissions, a minister said.

The government had formed these two commissions in 2014 to understand the situation of conflict victims.

These commissions have been investigating the conflict era cases on the basis of the complaints filed by the conflict victims.
