One Nepalese commentator remarks, "leaders of the seven parties now in alliance have to collect enough courage to enter into their constituencies. The fact is that the leaders who should have been by now into their constituencies are stranded in Kathmandu for fear of being violently attacked by the YCL cadres of the Maoists."
In order to project an image of a ‘socially responsible’ group, the YCL also engages its cadres a number of symbolic activities such as cleaning localities, cleaning rivers and planting trees. On occasion, they have involved themselves in quasi-policing activities like traffic management, night patrolling, demolition of illegal houses, and the capture of alleged gangsters. Since these are integral responsibilities of the Government, the YCL intervention actually create additional law and order problems. However, backed as they are by the full might of the Maoists, YCL cadres openly challenge Government authorities, including the Police, and are progressively establishing a parallel authority and system.
YCL is active in a majority of Districts across Nepal. Their activity has been confirmed in Jhapa, Kavrepalanchowk, Ramecchap, Kathmandu, Bardiya, Morang, Phidim, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, Rukum, Rolpa, Itahari, Sunsari and Sankhuwasabhadistricts.
