Kathmandu (Nepal), Mar 21 (ANI): Protesters in Nepal on Tuesday resorted to hitting the street demanding reinstatement of Nepal Electricity Authority chief Kulman Ghising, who was suspended from post on Monday evening. In various protests held in Kathmandu, dozens of protesters skirmished with Nepal police near the parliament as they attempted to break the restricted area. Later in the evening, the All Nepal National Independent Students Union (Revolutionary) burned the effigy of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, protesting the move to depose Ghising. The cabinet meeting held at Singha Durbar on Monday evening decided to relieve Managing Director Ghising of his post. During the protest, the protesters raised slogans such as 'Ujyalo Nepal Zindabad, Adharo Sarkar Murdabad, 'Ujyalo Nepal Zindabad, ' and 'Kulman Ghising Zindabad. ' Within 24 hours of Ghising's deposition, Hitendra Dev Shakya officially assumed office as the Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA). The same meeting removed Ghising from the post and appointed Shakya as his successor. Shakya had previously led NEA but was replaced by Kulman Ghising. His legal battle challenging this removal remained unresolved, with his petition pending before the Supreme Court for years.
