KATHMANDU: In a meeting earlier today involving Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Home Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha, and security officials, a recommendation has been made for the government to provide compensation of one million rupees each to the families of the two youths killed in the Balkumari incident on Friday.
Birendra Shah, 22, from Doti, and Sujan Rawat, 23, from Dailekh, lost their lives in a clash between students of EPS and security personnel.
In addition to the compensation, the government is also preparing to suspend officials connected to the incident. This includes Dandu Raj Ghimire, the current Director General, Gurudatta Subedi, serving as the Director at EPS Korea Section, DSP Umesh Lamasl, who commanded the deployment of as many as 125 security personnel at Balkumari during the incident, and the Personal Security Officer (PSO) of Minister Prakash Jwala.
These measures come as part of the government’s response to address the aftermath and consequences of the tragic Balkumari incident.
