Home Minister Gurung attends Cabinet meeting amid mounting pressure to resign



KATHMANDU: Home Minister Sudan Gurung has entered the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers to attend the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

Gurung’s participation in the meeting comes shortly after his discussion with Rabi Lamichhane at an apartment in Budhanilkantha.
