KATHMANDU: Students close to the ruling parties — Nepali Congress and Maoist Center – staged a demonstration in front of the Nepal Rastra Bank office, Baluwatar demanding the resignation of Governor Maha Prasad Adhikari.

The youth student organizations, Nepal Students Union and ANNISU (Revolutionary), who have been protesting for a few days, protested at the gate of Nepal Rastra Bank next to Prime Minister’s Baluwatar Gate No. 3 on Sunday morning to prevent Governor Adhikari from entering the office.

The police intervened in their demonstration. Some protesters have been arrested by the police.

Students are protesting against a person named M. Adhikari, a member of the finance and planning department of CPN-UML, claiming that he is Governor Adhikari.

However, Adhikari has been dismissing the reports.
