Nepal PM Announces Action Based on Gen Z Investigation.webp

Kathmandu, March 27 The first Cabinet meeting of the newly formed government, chaired by Prime Minister Balendra Shah, on Friday decided to immediately implement the report of the high-level commission's investigation into the Gen Z movement in September last year.

The Cabinet meeting also decided to appoint Minister for Science and Technology, Sasmit Pokharel, as its spokesperson.

Following the Cabinet meeting, Spokesperson Pokharel informed the media that the Cabinet had decided to immediately implement the report of the probe commission relating to last year's Gen Z movement.

The probe commission has recommended a maximum of 10 years imprisonment for officials, including then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, for negligence during the uprising, despite being in high positions.

Pokharel, sharing the Cabinet decision, said that among the recommendations made by the Gauri Bahadur Karki-led probe commission for actions against security officials, a study team would be formed.

However, in the case of others, the recommendation would be implemented immediately, he added.

The probe commission had recommended actions against many other high officials, including then Inspector General of Nepal Police, Chandra Kuber Khapung.

The previous government led by Sushila Karki had decided to make the probe commission's report public by placing it in the library archive of the federal parliament secretariat.
