Newly appointed Prime Minister Sushila Karki has taken charge today, operating temporarily from an alternative office following the recent fire at the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers’ Office.
Newly appointed Prime Minister Sushila Karki assumed her official duties today. Karki, who was sworn in on Friday evening following the Gen-Z movement, arrived at Singha Durbar at 11:30 AM on Sunday to take charge, according to the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers’ Office.
Following the fire at the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers’ Office on Bhadra 24 during the protests, the office will temporarily operate from a newly constructed building initially built for the Home Ministry.
President Ramchandra Paudel appointed Karki as Prime Minister with the condition that elections be held within the next six months.
Other ministries in Singha Durbar, which were also damaged in the fire, are being cleaned and gradually restored to operational status. Spokesperson and Joint Secretary Ravilal Sharma stated that Singha Durbar will return to normal operations starting today.
For the time being, the Prime Minister’s Office will function using materials that survived the fire until full restoration is completed.
