HETAUDA: Hetauda Sub-Metropolis has for the first time got an indigenous woman as a Mayor.
The only sub-metropolis in Bagmati Province, Hetauda’s achievement this time is a break in political domination of CPN-UML.

Formation of Hetauda Women Municipal Council, skill oriented and income-generating training to women, Dalit, backward and indigenous people are other promises, she shared.
She also shared her plan to establish a maternity hospital and senior citizen hospital in Hetauda.

She has a communist political background. She had been district secretary of All Nepal Women Associations in Hetadua in 2071BS.
