KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has called a meeting of the Council of Ministers today.
The Cabinet meeting is expected to take place this afternoon around 4:00 pm, according to the Prime Minister’s Secretariat.

Minister for Agriculture Ghanashyam Bhusal, Tourism Minister Yogesh Kumar Bhattarai, Energy Minister Barshaman Pun, Forest Minister Shakti Basnet, Labour Minister Rameshwor Ray Yadav, Drinking Water Minister Bina Magar, and Education Minister Giriraj Mani Pokhrel resigned.
The ministers said to be close to Nepal Communist Party (NCP) co-chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal and senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal (now co-chair of the Dahal-Nepal faction of NCP) informed of their resignation at a press conference in Singh Durbar.
