Chief District Officer of Arghakhanchi, Ved Prasad Kharel, has been dragged to the Ministry of Home Affairs after complaints of uncooperative behavior with the employees working in the district administration. He appeared in Arghakhanchi on 03 Baisakh 082.
Home has transferred Prajia Gopal Prasad Aryal from Bhaktapur to Arghakhanchi.
On Wednesday, the staff including the Assistant Chief District Officer and Administrative Officer of the Administration Office protested by stopping the work for 3 hours saying that Kharel's behavior was not right. They had gone on strike, alleging that they used unnecessary words to provoke the service delivery, performance and staff. After Prazia Kharel apologized in the discussion in the meeting, the workers returned to work after suspending the protest.
Administrative Officer Shyamhari Bhattarai claimed that the Chief District Officer Kharel used to shake the staff and use indecent words in a fit of excitement. According to the source, the staff used political access to pressure Kharel to recall him.
Even though Kharel discussed the incident on Wednesday in an internal staff meeting, the home administration source said that he was recalled on Thursday after complaining that he was uncooperative with the clients and staff. Kharel's reaction is that the employees took the activities to make the work of the administration faster and more efficient.
