Guragain returns to duty at KMC, to release salaries from Friday onwards



KATHMANDU: Chief Administrative Officer Saroj Guragain has resumed his duties at Kathmandu Metropolitan City after successfully breaking the lock imposed by Mayor Balen Shah.

The lock was removed with the support of Deputy Mayor Sunita Dangol, ward chairpersons, and the working employees.

Despite efforts by the Metropolitan Police, led by Police Chief Raju Pandey, to prevent his entry into the office, Guragain was able to overcome the obstacles with the backing of people’s representatives and employees. After a three-and-a-half-month hiatus, he officially returned to duty.

Guragain also announced that the salary, which had been withheld for nearly five months at Kathmandu Metropolitan City, will be released starting Friday.
