KATHMANDU: The CPN-UML has withdrawn from the Bagmati Provincial Government, marking a new political development in the province.

According to Jagannath Thapaliya, leader of the CPN-UML Parliamentary Party in Bagmati Province, the party formally exited the provincial government on Tuesday.

Thapaliya said the UML ministers serving in the provincial cabinet will submit their resignations on Wednesday.
