Chief Minister also at the casino

Chief Minister Singh, who suddenly arrived at the private hospital in Birganj on Wednesday, received a notice that Nepalis will also be allowed to visit the casino operating there. After learning that a Nepali citizen had lost 40 lakh rupees in a single night in the casino of Birganj, he went to the Kings Casino and Hotel Suraj in Lord's Dialo located in Adarsh ​​Nagar in Birganj for monitoring.

Meanwhile, Parsa police have detained a Nepali citizen who was gambling in Hotel Suraj's casino. Since the records of those entering the casino are not in order, Chief Minister Singh has instructed both the casino managers of Birganj to come to the office of the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers with a list of people entering the casino with their identity cards, one week's CCTV footage, details of employees and related documents.
