Kathmandu, December 31
The government is set to establish a high-level commission to investigate the Balkumari incident.
During a discussion on Sunday, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal informed the top leaders of the ruling party that, according to the Commission of Inquiry Act 2026, a high-level commission would be formed, led by a former judge.
“The commission will be established during the cabinet meeting tomorrow morning,” stated Ramesh Lakhak, the Congress chief whip, who participated in the discussion. “The commission will commence its work starting tomorrow.”
On December 29, two individuals lost their lives during a protest demonstration at Balkumari, Lalitpur, while seeking permission to apply for jobs in the manufacturing sector in Korea through the Employment Permit System (EPS) and completing the language test application.
