PM shifts to Baluwatar; NA to take charge of his security

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has shifted to his official residence in Baluwatar on Wednesday, nine days after being elected to the top executive position.

Hours after returning from a four-day visit to China, Dahal went to Baluwatar at around 5:00 pm accompanied by some members of his cabinet. He had been living at a rented house in Naya Bazaar.

Meanwhile, Nepal Army and Nepal Police are to take charge of the Prime Minister's security from today. The army will be in the front ring of his security, assisted by the police.

Earlier, Armed Police Force (APF) and People's Liberation Army (PLA) were also involved in his security.

The decision to involve the PLA in the Prime Minister's security had courted controversy with political parties including the ruling coalition members raising serious objection. nepalnews.com mk Aug 27 08
