The ward chairman of Umakunda Rural Municipality-5 in Ramechhap, Kubir Chhetri, has been found dead at Baseri Chhilaune of the Rural Municipality on Wednesday morning.
Chhetri had gone out of contact since 8:30 am on Tuesday.
According to Rudramani Newar, spokesperson of Umakunda Rural Municipality, they recovered his motorcycle, coat, shoes, and diary on Tuesday itself. The body was found some 500 metres away from the site where police recovered his belongings.
The members of the working committee had tried to call him, but the phone was switched off. The search began after Chhetri, who walked from home to attend the committee meeting, failed to reach the site.
Chhetri had won the position representing the CPN-UML in the local level elections held last year.
