Morang CDO recalled to Kathmandu
Chief District Officer (CDO) of Morang Shashi Shekhar Shrestha, alleged of manhandling chief and four other employees of Biratnagar Customs Office, has been recalled to Kathmandu for inquiry. The Ministry of Home Affairs called back Shrestha to the ministry after customs employees throughout the country resorted to agitation bringing the customs offices across the country to a halt demanding action against Shrestha. Shrestha has already come to Kathmandu Thursday afternoon following the ministry directives. Assistant CDO of Morang Surendra Poudel has been delegated the acting CDO. Shrestha is alleged of detaining Biratnagar Customs Office chief Man Bahadur Poudel with his family Tuesday midnight and harassing them. He was miffed with Poudel and the customs office employees for speaking against his favour at court in a case regarding Bishal Chemicals leading to a verdict against the District Administration Office.
