Nepal PM Orders Dismantling of Political Unions in Academics

In a bold move, Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah has instructed universities and health institutions to dismantle student and employee unions aligned with political parties.

During an extensive meeting with vice chancellors and health institute leaders, Shah emphasized the need to eliminate political influence in these sectors, arguing its irrelevance in today's context.

The government, asserting its zero-tolerance policy, has assured full security to aid the implementation of this directive, marking a significant step toward depoliticizing educational and health institutions in Nepal.
