Basanta Bahadur Bohara assumed charge as the Chief Administrative Officer of Birgunj Metropolitan City on Thursday. The cabinet meeting on Jestha 11 had decided to send Bohara as the Chief Administrative Officer of Birgunj Metropolitan City while transferring 29 joint secretaries.
The previous Chief Administrative Officer, Arvind Lal Karna, was suspended from his financial and administrative powers by the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration in the first week of Baisakh. Karna is currently working at the previous 10th level. He was previously the head of the education division of the metropolis.
Bohara, a joint secretary working in the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives, Federal Affairs and General Administration, assumed charge on Thursday, 10 days after the government transferred him.
Earlier, on Falgun 12, the then Sushila Karki-led government had sent Resham Lal Kandel as the Chief Administrative Officer of Birgunj Metropolitan City. However, Birgunj Metropolitan City Mayor Rajeshman Singh had written to the ministry expressing his disagreement with the decision made without the consent of the metropolis and requesting a reconsideration of the decision. After Kandel arrived in Birgunj Metropolitan City on Baisakh 28 to appear, a meeting of people's representatives held in the metropolis on Jestha 5 decided that if the government forcibly did not allow him to appear, the metropolis would be locked and the key would be handed over to the ministry.
