People's Liberation Army, Nepal ( _ne. जनमुक्ति सेना, नेपाल) is the armed wing of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). The PLA was founded in 2001, in the midst of the People's War initiated by the Maoists in 1996. The chief commander of the PLA during the war was Prachanda (Pushpa Kamal Dahal). On September 12, 2008, Nanda Kishor Punwas appointed new chief commander of the PLA, as Prachanda had become prime minister. This move was in line with a pledge issued by the CPN(Maoist), issued prior to the 2008 Constituent Assembly election, that their members elected to the Assembly would leave their PLA positions.
