Following the ordinance passed by the state government in Biratnagar Metropolitan, 17 employees resigned. Dilli Prasad Dhimal, Officer VII, Mukundachandra Upadhyay, Officer VII, Engineer Bharat, and Ghanshyam Kafle are among those who resigned.

Dilli Dhimal is the most active at the local level. Arjun Thapaliya, Head of Personnel Administration Division of Biratnagar Metropolitan Municipality, stated that many personnel have resigned in order to earn a gratuity for the services they have provided thus far, as service facilities will be curtailed as a result of the law.
