KATHMANDU: On Sunday, supporters of Kulman Ghising held a protest at Maitighar Mandala in Kathmandu.

The protesters carried placards and banners with slogans such as “Kulman Ghising, the pride of the nation,” “Kulman is our pride,” “The honor of the country and people,” “The whole of Nepal shines,” “Kulman is in the hearts of the people,” and “Kulman Ghising, the hero of a bright Nepal.”

This demonstration comes after the government appointed Hitendra Dev Shakya as the new Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) on March 24, replacing Kulman Ghising from the position.

The Cabinet’s decision to remove Ghising from his post has sparked strong reactions from his supporters, who have rallied in his favor.
