Sunita Dangol, the deputy mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC), has come down heavily on KMC Mayor Balen (Balendra Shah) for not addressing the issues directly but giving instructions from his office. This comes after the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Saroj Guragain, who has been absent for three months, reported back to work, despite attempts by the city police to prevent his entry.
Deputy Mayor Dangol showed concern about how the running of the municipality of Kathmandu was being affected by his delay in returning to the office after the gap of three months, which has really hit thousands of employees and the people of Kathmandu. She also noted that the cancer patients across the country hadn’t received financial assistance. Dangol demanded that the mayor resolve the issue without delay and stressed that the mayor should be held accountable and shouldn’t be issuing orders from his office.
