KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Sushila Karki has reshuffled ministerial portfolios, reallocating responsibilities among members of her cabinet.
The decision affects Finance Minister Rameshwor Khanal and Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal, both of whom were appointed earlier.
Khanal, who was already heading the Finance Ministry, has now been given the additional responsibility of the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration.
Aryal, meanwhile, has been relieved of his role as Law Minister and will now oversee only the Home Ministry. The Law Ministry portfolio has been handed over to Anil Kumar Sinha, who was appointed to the cabinet on Monday.
Following the changes, the cabinet now has eight members. Among them, Kulman Ghising and Sinha hold three ministries each, while Khanal oversees two.
Dr. Madan Pariyar (Agriculture), Mahabir Pun (Education), and Jagdish Kharel (Communication) each manage a single ministry.
The remaining ministries continue to be held directly by Prime Minister Karki herself.
