Balen’s team member falls ill in Achham

KATHMANDU: A member of the election campaign team of Balendra Shah, senior leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSWP), has been seriously injured in Achham.

Shah, who is campaigning across the country ahead of the upcoming House of Representatives elections, had reached in Achham when Dinesh Sitaula, a campaign team member from Tokha, Kathmandu, suddenly collapsed on Friday morning.

According to Dr. Kamlesh Yadav, Chief of Achham District Hospital, Sitaula sustained a severe head injury.

Considering the seriousness of his condition, arrangements are being made to transfer him to Kathmandu for advanced treatment.
