Cites health reasons for resignation; board member list updated on official website.
Radha Kumari Pokharel, the only female member of the Board of Directors at the Nepal Insurance Authority, has resigned from her position. Citing health concerns and the inability to dedicate sufficient time, she had submitted her resignation a few days earlier. According to Pokharel, her resignation was officially accepted on Sunday.
Following the approval, the Insurance Authority’s official website has been updated to reflect the change. In the latest update published on Tuesday, her name has been removed from the board member list. The current board now includes Chairperson Sevantak Pokharel, and members Man Bahadur Aryal and Santosh Rizal.
Radha Pokharel had been appointed to the board via a ministerial decision by Finance Minister Bishnu Paudel, effective from Chaitra 1. However, at the time of her appointment, concerns had been raised regarding her qualifications and the transparency of the selection process.
