KATHMANDU: Some officials of Rastriya Banijya Bank and Agricultural Development Bank Limited have resigned from their positions.
The resignations came from chairpersons and board members who were either appointed by the previous government or were serving on behalf of the government in the banks’ boards of directors.
At Rastriya Banijya Bank, chair Dev Kumar Dhakal tendered his resignation. Likewise, at Agricultural Development Bank Limited, Chairperson Dim Prasad Poudel and other board members resigned on Wednesday.
Although the government, through an ordinance, had removed officials appointed to various public bodies, it was not initially aimed at removing officials in the banking and financial sector.
However, the officials are said to have resigned after receiving indications from the Ministry of Finance to step down.
So far, board members of Nepal Bank Limited have not resigned.
