KATHMANDU: Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairperson Rabi Lamichhane was unable to travel to Chitwan on Tuesday due to medical advice following an infection caused by a leg injury.
Lamichhane had sustained a bruise on his leg after hitting it while traveling to Janakpur on January 19. The injury later developed into an infection, requiring hospital treatment. Although he was discharged from the hospital and had been resting at home, he was advised not to travel as the risk of the infection spreading remained high, according to his secretariat.
Earlier, RSP Vice-Chairperson DP Aryal had stated that Lamichhane was scheduled to visit Chitwan on Tuesday. However, the program was postponed at the last moment in view of his health condition.
The secretariat clarified that Lamichhane is not facing any eating-related or other physical health issues. He remains unable to move around only due to the leg injury.
Doctors advised him to refrain from traveling following a follow-up medical examination, the secretariat said.
Lamichhane has been on complete rest for the past week due to the leg-related health issue.
